TROOP C- NEWS RELEASE Child Safety Seat Event Scheduled For Houma, LA Louisiana State Police Troop C, Houma Police Department, Terrebonne Parish Sheriff’s Office, Terrebonne Alcohol and Drug Substance Abuse Council, Leonard Chabert Medical Center, and Department of Health and Hospitals will conduct a Child Safety Seat Check-up event on Saturday, September 24, 2011, at the Wal-Mart on the eastside of Houma, LA. The event will run from 9:00 A.M. to 2:00 P.M. Wal-Mart’s address is 933 Grand Caillou Rd. Houma, LA. 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 cannot afford a child safety seat. Troop C also conducts free child safety seat checks every second and fourth Thursday of each month. All other days are done by appointment only.
