A safety technician inspects a child's car seat Christopher Slat
Keeping kids safe in a vehicle is as easy as buckling them into an approved safety seat. Unfortunately, that's where the easy part ends. A child safety seat must be
appropriate for the child's height, weight, and age, and it must be properly installed in the vehicle. And that's not always simple.
At a car seat check event, certified child passenger safety technicians can help parents correctly install their safety seat, plus share valuable information about keeping kids safe in a vehicle. Contact your county or city department of health, your local hospital, or
Children's Hospital of Michigan to learn more about upcoming events.
