TROOP C- NEWS RELEASE

For Immediate Release

Date: September 23, 2010
Child Safety Seat Event Scheduled At Troop C

Louisiana State Police Troop C will conduct a Child Safety Seat Check-up event on Saturday, September 25, 2010, from 9:00 A.M. to 2:00 P.M. Troop C’s address is 4047 West Park Ave. Gray, LA., which is located at the intersection of LA 24 (north) and US 90.

Roughly 3 out of 4 child seats are not correctly used. Misuse of child safety seats can be attributed to the variety of child seats available and the variety of vehicles on the market today. This child safety seat check-up can help prevent the misuse of child seats by educating the public on the proper seat and installation for the vehicle being used.

This event is being done nationwide as part of the “National Safety Seat Check Saturday.” This event will allow for a certified child safety seat technician to pass on information regarding the proper installation of a child safety seat in vehicles. In addition, certified technicians will provide life saving information as to what child safety seat should be utilized in regards to age, weight, and height limits.

Free child safety seats will also be available for those that are in need of a child safety and/or booster seat and who qualify and can not afford a child safety seat. Troop C also conducts free child safety seat checks every third Thursday of each month by appointment only.
