GOVERNOR’S TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMITTEE ANNOUNCES FREE CHILD SEAT INSPECTIONS AND ASSISTANCE IN CLINTON COUNTY

Free Inspections by Appointment Offered Year-Round

The Governor’s Traffic Safety Committee (GTSC) today reminded parents and caregivers in Clinton County that free car seat checks by certified child passenger safety technicians are available Saturday, November 26 in Plattsburgh.

When: Saturday, November 26 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
Where: Town of Plattsburgh Highway Department, 151 Banker Road, Plattsburgh
For more information, contact Skylar Morales at (518) 565-4397.

These events are part of a year-long safety initiative in which state and local law enforcement agencies and various community safety partners offer free car seat inspections. Trained technicians use the “Learn, Practice, and Explain” model to educate parents and caregivers on how to choose and properly install the appropriate seat for their child’s age and size and their vehicle, so it can be used correctly every time.

Those who cannot attend one of these free car seat check events can make an appointment with a local fitting station. Find more information on upcoming car seat check events near you.
