Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for children. Louisiana state law requires all vehicle occupants, including children, to be properly restrained in all seating positions day and night. Many injuries and deaths can be prevented by properly using child safety seats.

Nationally certified child passenger safety technicians will be on hand to assist with the proper installation of child safety seats.

While supplies last, free booster seats will be given to caregivers for children meeting the following criteria:
Child must weigh between 40 and 100 pounds
Child must be less than 4 feet 9 inches tall
Child must be present
Limit one seat per child

Participating agencies include Louisiana State Police Troop D, Lake Charles Fire Department, Ward 1 Fire Department (Moss Bluff) , and the Beauregard Parish Sheriff’s Office.
