Free child car seat installation Saturday

Parents and child caregivers can get their child safety seats installed by experts for free this Saturday, September 21.

Nine locations across the state will host the event known as National Seat Check Saturday, recognized by the Louisiana Highway Safety Commission and the Louisiana Passenger Safety Task Force. National Seat Check Saturday rounds off Child Passenger Safety Week (September 15-21), a national campaign to raise awareness for keeping children safe in vehicles.

“Our children are precious cargo,” LHSC Executive Director Lisa Freeman said. “Get them fitted properly to ensure their safety. We will have certified technicians at each location to help with installation and expert advice.”

Louisiana law regarding child safety seats is one of the strongest in the country, but the seats must be installed according to the child’s age and size to be fully effective, Freeman said.

In LaPlace, car seats can be checked 9 a.m.-noon at the St. John Parish Sheriff’s Office – 1801 W. Airline Highway.
