Today is National Seat Check Saturday, is your child in the right car seat? More than 72% of car seats are installed incorrectly, and nearly half of child passengers are not in the right type of car seat for their age or size. Here are several things to consider to keep your child passenger safe: - Is your car seat installed by the latch system or seatbelt? - Is your car seat in the outboard or the center position of the car? - Are the shoulder straps even with the child’s shoulders? - Can you pinch excess material on the shoulder/chest strap? - Is your car seat used or has it ever been in an accident? - When does the car seat expire? Schedule a car seat check or installation with one of Venice Fire Rescue’s certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians by calling 941-480-3030.
