FROM THE NEWSROOM: “Nearly four out of five car seats are used incorrectly,” according to the Connecticut Children’s Medical Center. “Could yours be one of them?” Or, “Are you expecting and don’t know how to properly install your child safety seat?” What’s the best safety seat for your child? When can they face forward in your vehicle? Area residents can get these and other questions answered while having their car seats checked by an experienced car seat technician. On Tuesday, September 30, from 5:30pm – 7:30pm, Safe Kids Connecticut, the Putnam Elks and other local organizations with an interest in child safety, will be at the Putnam Fire Department, 191 Church Street, to perform free car seat safety checks, according to a news release. Sponsored by the Putnam Elks Lodge, this event once again brings together the Putnam Police Department, Safe Kids Windham County, Kids In Safety Seats-CT, SBM Charitable Foundation, and local hospitals to ensure the safety of hildren. A similar event, held earlier this year in June, was so well received that this car safety seat event is being held again at the public’s request, with evening hours to accommodate working families. No appointment needed. Please bring your child and your vehicle. Safe Kids Connecticut is a program of the Injury Prevention Center at Connecticut Children’s Medical Center, dedicated to reducing preventable injuries and deaths among Connecticut’s children. The Connecticut Elks Association has donated more than 4 million dollars to the Connecticut Children’s Medical Center, working hard to keep Connecticut’s children safe. For further information, please contact Kids In Safety Seats-CT at (860) 714-5477 or visit ctsafekids.org.
