ERIE COUNTY, N.Y. — If you've been waiting to get your child's car seat inspected, you'll have an opportunity to do so during the month of May in Erie and Niagara counties.
The Governor's Traffic Safety Committee (GTSC) announced Friday that it will be holding two free car seat safety checks, with the first happening on Tuesday, May 10 and the second happening Saturday, May 21.
Certified child passenger safety technicians will be on hand to make sure that seats are installed correctly. The safety technicians use the 'Learn, Practice, and Explain' model to educate parents and caregivers on how to choose the appropriate seat for the child's age and size and how to properly install the seat.
