Each year children suffer serious injury or death in car accidents. Children need special protection when traveling in motor vehicles, and many of these injuries can be prevented by the correct use of child safety seats. It is estimated that 80-90% of child safety seats are imporperly installed.
The best car seat is one that fits the child and the vehicle, one that is easy to install, and one that is used every time the child is in the car.
If you would like to make sure your car seat is properly installed, please call the Inverness Fire Department at (847)991-8700.
