periodically, as things like the weather, vehicle seat compression,
and the motion from your vehicle moving can cause the seat
installation to loosen. For installation help,come visit BRITAX USA
headquarters in Charlotte, North Carolina! A certified Child
Passenger Safety Technician will teach you the correct way to install
your seat, provide safety recommendations, and answer any questions
you may have. This FREE event is scheduled to take place on Friday,
March 16th, from 8:00 – 11:30 am. No appointment is necessary and
child car seats from every manufacturer are welcome. If you cannot
make this event, visit SafeKids.org to find an inspection station or
event near you: http://www.safekids.org/in-your-area/find-a-inspection-station/
.
Please help us keep babies and kids safe on the road, especially
during the heavily traveled Spring Break season.
Statistic: Improper car seat installation — and lack of a car seat
altogether — is responsible for the death and injury of thousands of
children each year. Approximately 96 percent of parents believe their
child seats are installed correctly. However, research shows that
seven out of 10 children are either not securely fastened in their car
seat or are in a car seat that is not properly secured to the vehicle,
according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
Where: Britax Child Safety, Inc (13501 South Ridge Drive, Charlotte,
