Car seats are available for $20 to those who are government subsidized programs like WIC or Medicaid. Proof of participation in program will be required at time of purchase. You can only purchase one car seat for $20. Additional seats for second vehicles, spouses, grandparents, etc. must be purchased at the reduced cost of $45. No exceptions allowed.
