Monroe Fire Department and LSP Sponsor Child Seat Check Event

The Louisiana Passenger Safety Task Force, Monroe Fire Department, Louisiana State Police and Monroe Police Department are sponsoring a free child safety seat check-up event at the Monroe Public Safety Center on Saturday, November 21, 2009 from 12 PM – 3 PM.

On average, nine (9) out of ten (10) child restraints are misused. The average restraint logs two (2) to three (3) errors and these errors cross all socioeconomic and educational lines. These misuses may be minor in nature; however, some misuses are so severe that the restraint may be rendered useless. Therefore, it is important to have each and every child restraint evaluated by a certified, child passenger safety technician. On Saturday, November 21, 2009, parents and caregivers will have the opportunity to get a free, personalized evaluation by certified technicians, and learn how to correctly install their restraint(s).

WHO: All parents and caregivers of children aged 12 & under.

WHAT: Child safety seat check-up event

WHERE: Monroe Public Safety Center, US 165 South

WHEN: Saturday, November 21 from 12 PM – 3 PM.

RAIN OR SHINE! No appointment necessary!
