Car seats ensure your child’s safety — but according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, almost 50% of car seats are not installed correctly.
Thurston County Public Health offers free car seat inspections to help keep kids safe through their Community Health, Parent Child Health Division. Inspections are conducted by a certified Child Passenger Safety Technician.
Request an appointment to ensure your child is riding correctly in the car!
