Install Car Seats Safely In Laguna Beach

LAGUNA BEACH, CA — Sometimes, it seems like you need to be a rocket scientist to properly install your car seat. The Laguna Beach Police Department, in partnership with “National Child Safety Passenger Week,” will be offering free car seat inspections to parents and caregivers in front of the police station, Sunday, September 17, 2017, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The event will include instruction on finding the right car seat for children, as well as instruction on correct installation of car seats.

Technicians will also explain the importance of registering the seats with the manufacturer so parents and caregivers can be notified if there is a recall. We will be hosting a second event Saturday, September 23, 2017 between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.

“Car seats and booster seats are often used incorrectly. We want to be proactive is promoting child safety seat education, which is why we brought in our partners from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to help host this car seat safety check. When it comes child seat safety, we are all in this together,” according to Captain Jeff Calvert, Laguna Beach Police Department.
