Where can I find carseat for new Mom?

I am looking for a program that supplies free carseats to new Mothers who can't afford them in the Dallas area. If you can let me know where and who might I call, I'd appreciate it. Also, how do you know that the carseats are safe and which ones to avoid. I hesitate to get a used carseat for that reason.

Thanks!

Some ideas-

Try contacting your local SafeKids coalition ( www.safekids.org ) or public health department. If they don't distribute carseats, they will usually be able to tell you who does. Our SafeKids does buy seats for low income families, though they are distributed through another local non-profit organziation that provides other necessities and counseling. They also do the paperwork and have the means to qualify income levels and such.

In general, current retail products are all safe as they all meet government standards. They mostly vary by features and ease of use. Used carseats are never a good idea, especially for distribution. In addition to being a potential safety issue, you open yourself up to significant liability.

Good luck!
