Each year, approximately 1,800 children who are less than 14 years of age lose their lives as the result of a motor vehicle crash. Another 280,000 children are injured.
Child safety seats, when properly installed, save lives. A study released by the National Safe Kids Campaign, however, reports that at least 85 percent of the 17,500 seats inspected were installed incorrectly. The most common misuses were the safety belt not holding the seat tightly and harness straps not being used properly.
North Evans Volunteer Fire Department is now providing seat inspections each month... no appointment necessary.
Next inspection date is Jan 25 6pm at the North Evans Fire Hall
