It's NHTSA's Child Passenger Safety Week from September 15th -21st! How certain are you that your child is the safest they can be while riding in the car? With vehicle crashes being a leading cause of death for children 1 to 12 years old in the United States, it’s very important to make sure your child is in the correct safety seat to accommodate their growing bodies. Car seats can reduce the risk of fatal injury in a crash by 71% for infants and 54% for toddlers. Know for sure if your child is in the right car seat!
To help caregivers transport children as safely as possible, the North Charleston Fire Department will be hosting a FREE car seat checkup event on September 21st from 10am to 2pm at Mount Moriah Missionary Baptist Church (7396 Rivers Ave, North Charleston, SC 29406).
Certified child passenger safety technicians will be on hand to check car seats for proper installation, and to advise parents and caregivers on how to choose the right car seat and properly install it in the vehicle. In addition, technicians can check for expiration dates and recalls of car seats and will demonstrate how to register car seats with manufacturers so parents and caregivers will be notified if there is a recall. Technicians will conduct car seat checks at this event on a first come, first served basis.
To learn more about this event, contact Fire Safety Coordinator, Laura Kondor, at (843) 740-2647 or e-mail: [email protected].
