Car Seat Checkup Dates

Four out of five car seats are used incorrectly! Could your child's be one of them?

National and local statistics show that 4 out of every 5 car seats are used improperly. It is important to have your car seat checked for proper installation. Motor vehicle crashes are the number one killer of children today. Take time to ensure your child's safety - have your car seat checked.

The FREE checks are open to all, especially parents, grandparents, care givers, and others responsible for transporting children in car seats. Each check will take about 15 minutes. 

Please call ahead to make sure that time and location have not changed due to weather or other circumstances.
