Heads up Pennsylvania residents– if you’ve got kids, chances are you know you need a car seat. But what you may not know is that there is a specific way to put in that car seat. And in some cases, if your car seat is not properly installed, it can result in fines for you, or, injury to the child.
But along comes the helpful folks at the Pennsylvania State Police to offer up free child seat safety check days, in which they’ll take a look at your installation, and if you’ve botched the job in any way, they’ll patch it up right.
And, if any cop tries to hassle you about it down the line, you have the ultimate excuse “I had a state trooper fix it at the last safety check day. If YOU can’t get it right what hope do I have?”
Here’s the schedule of events in case you’re interested:
Wal-Mart in Elizabethville – checks 9/16-9/18
Summit Health Center in Chambersburg – checks 9/16 and 9/17
Pennsylvania State Barracks in Newport – checks 9/15 and 9/16
Pennsylvania State Barracks in York – checks 9/18
