Safe Kids PBC Hosting Free Car Seat Check Up Event in Palm Beach Gardens

Safe Kids PBC a program of Community Partners of South Florida is hosting a free car seat check-up event for Palm Beach County families on November 9 2024 in the parking lot at Gordon & Partners at 4114 Northlake Blvd Palm Beach Gardens FL 33410 between 9:00 am and noon. 

A Nationally Certified Child Passenger Safety Technician will teach parents and caregivers about which is the right seat for their child’s height weight and developmental level. Technicians educate about proper harnessing of their child in their new car seat how to adjust as the child grows and then educates and assists the parents with properly installing the car seat.

Safe Kids PBC will also be giving away 50 free car seats to families with their children present while supplies last - an initiative sponsored by the law firm of Gordon & Partners. 

Since supplies are limited Safe Kids PBC Program Director Kathryn Wall encourages parents to arrive early if they want a car seat.

“Roadside injuries are the leading preventable cause of death and injury to children in the U.S.” Wall said. “Properly installed child safety seats can reduce the risk of death by over 70% and we want to make sure that every child in Palm Beach County is safe when they’re traveling.” 

Funded by the Children’s Services Council of Palm Beach County Safe Kids PBC is a community based program that offers safety education and materials to families to decrease preventable injuries in children from 0 to 19. In addition to hosting courses for residents to learn how to become a safety technician Safe Kids PBC also hosts inspection events year round.
