Keep Your Little Ones Safe: Free Child Safety Seat Check in Broome County
Did you know that car crashes are a major cause of concern for kids aged 1 to 13 years old? The good news is that using child safety seats correctly can decrease the risk of fatal accidents by up to 71%.
Here's the kicker - only about 10% of the child safety seats checked by Certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians in Broome County are actually being used the right way.
Common mistakes like loose installations, not securing harness straps properly, using expired seats, or seats that don't match your child's age, weight, or height guidelines are more common than you might think. But don't worry! The Broome County Traffic Safety Program is teaming up with community partners to host a can't-miss event:
Date: Thursday, August 8th
Time: 1:30 PM to 3:30 PM
Location: Visions Veterans Memorial Arena, 1 Stuart Street, Binghamton
No need to make an appointment - just show up! Come on down for free child safety seat checks performed by Certified Technicians, along with free educational materials and expert guidance on keeping your little ones safe on the road.
All you need to bring is your child safety seat(s), your kiddos, your vehicle, and if you can, the manuals for your car seat and vehicle. It's first-come, first-served, so don't worry about booking in advance!
Let's make sure our passengers are riding in the safest way possible. Need more details? Reach out to the Broome County Traffic Safety Program at 607-778-2807. Let's work together to keep our kids safe and sound on the roads of Broome County!
