Child Safety Seat Check Event in Monroe (1)

Child Safety Seat Check Event in Monroe

Monroe – On Saturday, April 13, 2024, from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., there will be a child passenger safety seat check event. The event will take place at Sam’s Club, located at 5400 Frontage Rd in Monroe. This free event will take place regardless of weather conditions, and appointments are not required.

It is a well-established fact that car seats and booster seats play a crucial role in saving lives. These devices provide the best protection for children in the unfortunate event of a crash. However, approximately three out of four child seats are not used correctly. This misuse can be attributed to the wide variety of child seats available and the diverse range of vehicles on the market today. Misuse of child seats cuts across all races, educational backgrounds, and socioeconomic statuses.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), properly used child restraints have saved over 11,000 lives in the past 30 years. This underscores the vital responsibility of caregivers to ensure that children are securely restrained in an appropriate child safety seat, booster seat, or seat belt whenever they are traveling in a vehicle.

We invite you to join our certified technicians on Saturday to ensure your child's safety. If you are unable to attend the event, we encourage you to visit a certified child passenger safety checkup station in your area. For information on technician locations in your area, please visit LHSC.
