National statistics indicate that four out of five child safety seats are misused every day in the United States. Alpharetta police officers and firefighters who are state certified child safety technicians will be on hand to install, evaluate, adjust and demonstrate the proper methods of using a child restraint seat.

Those attending this child safety seat event will also be provided other useful information to help ensure the safety of their children.

The event is brought to you by the Alpharetta Department of Public Safety in partnership with Safe Kids North Fulton.
