This past Monday, parents in the vicinity of El Centro, California were able to benefit from a car seat safety check put on by the local Kiwanis Club and the California Highway Patrol. A Senator who was on hand for the event noted that, with a fatality taking place in traffic every three hours or so, this effort can serve as a means to make sure parents are doing whatever they can to protect their kids from harm. Free car seats were on hand for those parents whose unit could no longer be deemed safe due to its age, and a line formed among those hoping to get the safety of the seats in their own automobiles verified.
Persons in the area who were unable to make the event but would still like to receive safety verification are being provided with contact information on scheduling a check, so click this link to learn more.
