Free Child Safety Seat Inspection

The Half Moon Bay Police Department is sponsoring a Child Passenger Safety Seat Inspection event at the Half Moon Bay Fire Station (on Main St.) on Saturday, Sept. 18th from 10:00 am to noon.

Technicians from Half Moon Bay PD, San Mateo County Sheriff’s, CHP, San Mateo PD and Lucille Packard Children’s Hospital (Stanford) will help you properly install your child seat.

According to the CDC, motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause of death among children in the US. According to NHTSA, approx. 72% of child restraint systems were misused in a way that could be expected to INCREASE a child’s risk of injury during a crash. You may never be involved in an accident with your child in the car, but wouldn’t you want to know that they’ve got the most protection possible just in case?

Its easy and its free. Just schedule an appointment, and come on down. Register online at www.carseatfitting.lpch.org. For questions, call (650) 736-2981.
