Is your child’s car seat installed correctly? Even if you’ve been using the same car seat for years, it’s worth having a trained Child Passenger Safety Technician take a second look. Child Passenger Safety Week is happening this week, and its a great reminder for DuPage County parents to make sure car seats and booster seats are installed correctly and that kids are riding in the right seat for their age, height, and weight.
The good news? Free car seat inspection events are happening throughout DuPage County on September 26, National Seat Check Saturday, making it easy to get expert guidance close to home. Whether you have a new car seat, recently switched your child to a booster seat, or just want the peace of mind that everything is installed properly, this is a great time to schedule a check.
