TROOP F - NEWS RELEASE September 20, 2011 Child Safety Seat Event in Monroe There will be a free child safety seat check-up event at Target, 4103 Pecanland Mall Dr, Monroe, La, on Saturday, September 24, 2011, from 9:00 am - 2:00 pm. Rain or shine, no appointment necessary! Approximately 3 out of 4 child seats are not used correctly. This misuse rate can be attributed to the great variety of child seats available, the great range of children’s weights and heights, and the vast array of vehicles in today’s market. These misuses span all races, educational levels, and socioeconomic status. This event wraps-up “National Child Passenger Safety Week” (September 18-24, 2011). Parents and caregivers will be provided firsthand information by nationally certified child passenger safety technicians regarding the proper installation of their child’s safety seat. In addition, parents and caregivers will also be provided with life-saving information regarding the appropriate child safety seat for each child’s age, weight and height. Agencies participating in the event include: The Louisiana Passenger Safety Task Force, the Louisiana Highway Safety Commission, Monroe Police, Monroe Fire and Louisiana State Police. Every Louisiana State Police troop location is a NHTSA-recognized child safety seat “Inspection Station”.
