The proper use of child
car seats can reduce fatal injuries to infants by 71% and toddlers by 47%.
Although participating in the program will not guarantee a child’s safety
in a motor vehicle accident, it can provide valuable information for parents
about child safety seats. It takes about 15 minutes to perform the inspection.
