Parents and caregivers — if you are part of a Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) benefits program, you may qualify for free diapers through the Diaper Assistance Program!

Qualified caregivers can pick up diapers at their local MDHHS office once a month for up to four months. To get started, visit your local office and ask for the Diaper Assistance Request Form (MDHHS-Pub-6251).

If you know a family who could benefit, please pass this information along. A little support can go a long way!

Between school, activities and appointments, children can be in and out of the car a lot! Helping them ride safely starts with making sure they’re in the right car seat or booster seat for their age, height, and weight.

A few important reminders:
• Keep children rear-facing for as long as possible, until they reach the maximum height or weight limit of their seat, or until they are at least two years old.
• Once they outgrow their rear‑facing seat, children should use a forward‑facing car seat with a five‑point harness until they reach the seat’s height or weight limit or are at least five years old.
• Children should use a booster seat with a lap and shoulder belt until they are at least eight years old. Most children are ready to ride without a booster when they reach 4 feet and 9 inches tall and can pass the five-step test.
• Children younger than 13 should ride in the back seat to help protect them from the force of a frontal air bag.
