Child Passenger Safety Week is September 19-25, 2021. One of the most important jobs as a parent is keeping your child safe when riding in a vehicle. A child is involved in a crash every 25 seconds and unfortunately, vehicle accidents are a leading cause of death among children. In 2019, there were 608 children who died in a motor vehicle accident. It is estimated that almost 40% of these children were not restrained properly. It is important to ensure your child is riding in a car seat appropriate for their age and size, but just as important is having the car seat installed property in the vehicle! If you have kiddos, we highly recommend you take advantage of this free event.

Appointments are required!
