(KTVE/KARD) — The Louisiana State Police are offering free car seat checks.
They say they want to make sure your car seats are installed properly. According to the State Police they see kids hurt or killed in car accidents all across the state.
Police say car seats significantly reduce the risk of injury and death when installed properly and the child is harnessed appropriately.
In an effort to improve child safety, Troopers will host several locations around the state Saturday, September 26, 2020 to check your car seat and teach parents and caregivers the correct way to use and install the child safety seat. This service is free to the public.
