Houston, TX - Congressman Gene Green and the Greater Houston SAFE KIDS Coalition will host a free car seat check-up for families on Saturday, April 30 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., at Monument Chevrolet, 3940 Pasadena Freeway (225 at Beltway 8) Pasadena, TX. Certified child passenger safety technicians will check each car seat for recalls and teach families how to install their children’s seats correctly in the cars.
“While many parents are conscientious about keeping their children safe while traveling on the roads, they do not realize that if their car seat is not properly installed it will not be effective,” said Rep. Green. “We invite families to stop by to receive information on how to properly install their child safety child seats and to check if their children are correctly secured in their car seats.”
Since 1999, SAFE KIDS Greater Houston has helped more than 10,000 children ride more safely in their family cars. More than 90% of child safety seats inspected in Houston were used incorrectly, were damaged, or were inappropriate for the child. In the event of a collision, children riding in these seats would not have been fully protected and could have been seriously injured. |
