West Hartford PD Hosting Free Car Seat Installation Clinic

WEST HARTFORD, CT — One of the myriad tasks parents must do to keep their young children safe is to put them in an approved car seat while traveling.

But if that seat isn't properly installed, then safety is compromised.

To mitigate against that possibility, the West Hartford Police Department is hosting a free car seat installation clinic this week.

It will take place Friday, March 28, from 9 a.m. to noon at West Hartford Town Hall, 50 S. Main St., West Hartford.

WHPD officers are certified through the state Department of Transportation to teach folks how to properly install children's car seats.

Friday's clinic will teach folks how to do so and give guests the chance to see if they have been doing so.

Anyone is welcome to come.

For more information on the clinic, call the WHPD Community Relations Division at 860-570-8820.
