Motor vehicle crashes are a leading cause of death among children. While most people believe their children are properly buckled up, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration points out that 46% of all car seats are misused. The best way to keep young children safe in your vehicle is to make sure they’re properly buckled up in a car seat. That means selecting a car seat that’s appropriate for a child’s age and size and installing it correctly.
The TXDOT Bryan District is hosting a car seat and booster seat inspection event, Thursday, September 12, 2024, from 3PM – 5:30PM. Child Passenger Safety Technicians will provide education on proper usage and installation of car seats, along with inspection of the families’ current seats.
The event will be held at the Walker County Maintenance Office, located at 580 IH 45 North, Huntsville, Texas 77320. Please call (979) 402-4785 to schedule an appointment. Children must be present.
