Car Seat Safety Checks and Giveaway
September 21 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
FreeIt’s a fact: Properly installed car seats save lives. Make sure your car seats and boosters have been properly installed by having them inspected by one of our nationally certified car seat techs on Saturday, Sept. 21, at Strada Patient Care Center in Mobile.
While there is no charge for the safety inspections, appointments are needed. To schedule a free appointment, sign up.
Up to two car seats per car will be given to those in need, while supplies last during the event. A child must be present. Those with appointments will have their seats inspected first.
Unfortunately, motor vehicle crashes are a leading cause of death for children. Research shows that some 46% of car seats are not used correctly. Using age- and size-appropriate car seats and installing them correctly are the best ways to reduce crash fatalities among children, safety experts say.
Trained technicians can help determine if children are in the right seat for their age and size, and explain the importance of registering car seats with the manufacturers so owners can be notified if there is a recall.
