Providing a car seat to families who find purchasing this necessity a significant financial burden directly addresses the health and safety of infants and children.

"The carseats: What a joy and gift of generosity by all of you! We are overwhelmed by the depth of your generosity and so incredibly grateful. These seats as you know are a vital item needed for children and gifting them to mothers is an exceptional action of compassion."
-Pam from Refugee Women Rising (Fall 2024) -
"Tremendous thanks to you and all others who helped make this (carseat) donation possible. They have been received by our refugee women with much gratitude. These seats meet a huge need, and we are so grateful to you."

“A mother had a 10-month old baby girl who was quickly outgrowing her car seat. She was worried about how she was going to afford a new one as they are so expensive and money has been so tight. She mentioned this new need, and due to the beautiful partnership with you at Christ Child Society, we were able to offer her a brand new car seat. This not only provided hope but was able to remove one pressure that this household was facing so that they could focus on providing a safe and stable living environment for this little treasure!”

"We were able to do something really great yesterday afternoon...We invited a group of 30 local moms to Heart Ministry Center for an early start to Mother's Day. What was described as a car seat safety class, turned into a great day for these moms and they were surprised with brand new car seats! A special thank you to Christ Child Society of Omaha, Children's Hospital and Medical Center and the Nebraska Diaper Bank for your help to make this event memorable."

At Christ Child Society, we are dedicated to ensuring every child travels safely. Through our Car Seat Program, we work with approved partners to help families in need access essential car seats and safety education.
Learn how our community-driven approach protects local children and how you can connect with our program or get involved.
We partner with social service agencies to conduct car seat education and distribution events. Typically, the agencies announce the classes and mothers need to register to attend. At each event, a trained educator from Children’s Hospital in Omaha teaches the parents how to safely install and use the car seat. At the completion of the training, a Grow-With-Me Car Seat is given to each parent. This style of car seat can be used from infancy until the child has grown large enough to no longer need a car seat or booster seat.
Thus far, we have conducted car seat events with:
- Heart Ministry Center
- Catholic Charities
- Mater Filius
