Safety Seat Checkup


The train accident last Friday got me thinking about my kids carseats. They're growing like weeds and its time to check to make sure they still fit in them correctly...and of course once the ball starts rolling in my head. Anyway, I came across this press release today, and so I'm putting it on her for you!

It only takes a little bit of time and it could save a life. Go check your kids today. Make sure they're seats are installed correctly and they fit properly. If you need help, make an appointment or drop by this saftey check. I made an appointment myself so maybe I'll see you there!!

Safety Seat Checkup Coming to Glendora

More than ninety percent of the children who attended safety seat checkups in the Los Angeles area this year were buckled up incorrectly.

SafetyBeltSafe U.S.A. is offering parents the opportunity to have their children’s safety seats inspected at a safety seat checkup at Glendora Market Place (in front of Sam’s Club), 1301 S. Lone Hill Avenue, Glendora, on October 1, 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Parents and caregivers may call the Safe Ride Helpline, (310) 222-6860, week day afternoons, to make an advance checkup appointment.

Teams of nationally Certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians and other trained volunteers will inspect each safety seat to make sure it fits the child properly, is correctly secured, and is in the safest possible location in the vehicle. Older children will be invited to try the 5-Step Test to find out if they fit properly in the vehicle safety belts or require use of a booster.
