Each car seat distribution site has their own qualifications families must meet before being issued a car seat. Most locations will ask families to provide proof of eligibility for Medicaid, WIC, or New Mexi-Kids. Fees vary by distribution site. However, the car seat fee for qualified families is typically $25. If a family cannot afford this, they can still get a car seat. No one will be turned away due to inability to pay.
