It’s a good idea to check the installation of child car seats periodically, as things like the weather, vehicle seat compression, and the motion from your vehicle moving can cause the seat installation to loosen. For installation help,come visit BRITAX USA headquarters in Charlotte, North Carolina! A certified Child Passenger Safety Technician will teach you the correct way to install your seat, provide safety recommendations, and answer any questions you may have. This FREE event is scheduled to take place on Friday, March 16th, from 8:00 – 11:30 am. No appointment is necessary and child car seats from every manufacturer are welcome. If you cannot make this event, visit SafeKids.org to find an inspection station or event near you: http://www.safekids.org/in-your-area/find-a-inspection-station/.
Please help us keep babies and kids safe on the road, especially during the heavily traveled Spring Break season.
Statistic: Improper car seat installation — and lack of a car seat altogether — is responsible for the death and injury of thousands of children each year. Approximately 96 percent of parents believe their child seats are installed correctly. However, research shows that seven out of 10 children are either not securely fastened in their car seat or are in a car seat that is not properly secured to the vehicle, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
