Princeton Health Community Wellness is pleased to offer FREE car seat safety checks. Car seat installation can be a challenge for many parents. Approximately 90 percent of car seats are not installed correctly or are misused.
Is yours one of them? Have your child’s car seat inspected by a certified child passenger safety technician who will:
• Check for proper installation
• Verify age/size appropriateness
• Determine if the car seat has been recalled or visibly damaged
Please bring your car manual and car seat instructions.
