Community Car Seat Check Event

Did you know?

Road injuries are the leading cause of preventable deaths and injuries to children in the United States, and correctly used child safety seats can reduce the risk of death by as much as 71 percent.  

Nearly 4 out of 5 car seats are installed incorrectly even though 9 out of 10 parents believe their child's safety seat is installed properly. Children seated in a booster seat in the back seat of the car are 45% less likely to be injured in a crash than children using a seat belt alone.
