The community is invited to attend a FREE Child Safety Seat Clinic this Saturday, July 16th at Walgreens, 1625 East Harbor, Warrenton from 10am to 2pm. Child passenger safety seats will be available for low income families with proof of assistance (WIC or Food Stamps).
Did you know that 70% of all installed child passenger safety seats and 50% of booster seats inspected in Clatsop County in 2010 were misused and incorrectly installed in vehicles? Could your child passenger safety seat be misused too?
A Child Safety Seat Clinic is designed to help individuals understand the need to put their children in the appropriate child passenger safety seat and safety belt. Certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians will educate parents and caregivers on how to install and adjust their car seats properly, check to make sure their car seat is not recalled, and educate everyone on the Oregon law.
For more information about this event, contact Tara Constantine at Astoria Fire & Rescue at (503) 298-2521.
