Description

Have your car seat inspected by a certified Child Passenger Safety Technician. Car seats will be provided on a first come first serve basis. In 2019 in the United States, 1,053 children 14 years and younger died in car crashes. In comparison, 2018 saw 1,049 deaths. During 2018 in the birth to 12 years age range, basically the ages most children should be in some sort of child restraint, 636 children died. (Of all the children birth to 12 who died in a crash in 2018, 33% were not restrained.) And fatalities represent only the tip of the iceberg. There were more than 183,000 children in this birth to 14 years who were injured in car crashes in 2019. Many of these injuries and deaths can be prevented. Placing children in age- and size-appropriate car seats and booster seats reduces serious and fatal injuries by more than half.
