WOODRIDGE, IL — The Woodridge and Lisle Police Departments are teaming up to host a free event to help promote child car seat safety in the community. Officers who are trained as car seat technicians will be present at the event to inspect car seats and to teach parents tips and tricks of car seat safety and installation.

This inspection event will help families make sure they are choosing a safe and proper car seat for their children.
