Free car seat checks are being offered around the Empire State over the next few days as part of Child Passenger Safety Week.
Trained technicians will be available to teach parents how to select a child restraint and how to make sure that it's used correctly every time. Data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration showed of the 755 children who died in crashes in 2020, 42-percent were unrestrained. A list of car seat check events can be found online at trafficsafety.ny.gov.
