| WHO: | The Regional Emergency Medical Services Authority’s (REMSA) Point of Impact program. |
|
WHAT:
|
REMSA and the PEACE Project will hold a child safety seat inspection checkpoint. Each seat will be checked by Nationally Certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians to ensure that it is properly installed in the vehicle, is the appropriate seat for the age and weight of the child riding in it and that the seat does not appear on any recall list. Parents will also receive education on the proper installation and use of car seats. The inspection is limited to 30 cars and early arrival is recommended. |
| WHEN: | Saturday, June 10, 9:00 a.m. |
| WHERE: | Bethel A.M.E. Church, 2655 North Rock Boulevard, Sparks |
|
WHY:
|
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, car crashes are the number one cause of death for all children. More than 90 percent of cars inspected at checkpoints arrive with seats improperly installed. |
