NIAGARA COUNTY, N.Y. — If you've been waiting to get your child's car seat inspected, you'll have an opportunity to do so in June in both Erie and Niagara counties.
The Governor's Traffic Safety Committee (GTSC) announced Thursday that it will be holding three free car seat safety checks this month. Certified child passenger safety technicians will be on hand to make sure that seats are installed correctly. The safety technicians use the 'Learn, Practice, and Explain' model to educate parents and caregivers on how to choose the appropriate seat for the child's age and size and how to properly install the seat.
