(KLZA)-- Community Medical Center of Falls City is partnering with Southeast Safety for Kids (SSK), the Southeast Safe Kids Coalition and the Four County Collaborative to provide a check up event for child passenger safety.
The event will be held on Wednesday, October 19th starting at 3:30 pm and concluding at 5:30 pm on the west side of Community Medical Center in the drive-through garage. The area can be accessed via the north driveway.
Nationally-certified child passenger safety technicians will be on hand to assist parents and other caregivers in correctly securing children from birth through age 13 in motor vehicles.
There is no charge for the checks, and expecting parents are welcome to bring their infant seats to the event for assistance.
The misuse rates in 20-plus years of work in this field have ranged from 70% to 85% of all car seats checked.
