The
public is invited to attend a FREE Child Safety Seat Clinic on Tuesday, June
19; Wednesday, June 20; and Thursday, June 21 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at the City
of Rolla Fire and Rescue headquarters (located at 1490 E. 10th
Street in Rolla).
During
this clinic, certified child safety seat technicians will inspect your child
car seat, and show you how to correctly install and use it.
According
to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, three out of four child
safety seats are improperly installed. In 2011, eight children less than
eight-years-old were killed and 1,624 children were injured as occupants in
motor vehicle crashes in Missouri.
A
limited number of seats are available at no charge to those that meet income
guidelines. For more information on this program, please call Lynette Manley,
City of Rolla Fire & Rescue, at 364-3989 or Lisa at the Phelps County
Health Department at 458-6030.
