Free Car Seat Inspections:
This event aims to address the alarming statistic that as many as 85% of car seats are misused. Parents and caregivers are invited to have their car seats inspected by certified child passenger safety technicians. These professionals will ensure that car seats are installed correctly and provide valuable safety tips.
In addition, car seats will be provided on a limited basis to families in need, as determined by a car seat technician and based on financial guidelines. It is essential for caregivers to bring their child and vehicle to the event to receive a new car seat unless the caregiver is an expectant mother in her third trimester.
Important Information:
- Requirements: The caregiver, child, and vehicle must be present to receive a car seat, except for expectant mothers in their third trimester.
- Cancellation: The clinic will be canceled in the event of bad weather or an emergency.
