(KLZA)-- Area parents and caregivers will have an opportunity to have child safety seats checked at Community Medical Center in Falls City on Tuesday, May 23rd between 3:30 pm and 6 pm.

Nationally-certified child passenger safety technicians from Southeast Safety for Kids will be present to provide assistance.

Laura Osborne, Southeast Safety for Kinds Coordinator says the group will assist parents, grandparents and other caregivers in securing passengers age 12 and under correctly in motor vehicles.

The misuse rates we have seen over 24 years of work in this field have been about 85% of all car seats we check. When our technicians work with a family, they are working to empower the parent and/or caregiver to install the child safety seat correctly themselves. This is important as we strive to keep the youngest citizens of southeast Nebraska as safe as possible while traveling in motor vehicles.”

Community Medical Center is located at 3307 Barada Street in Falls City. Anyone who transports children are encouraged to attend. Call (402) 245-6571 to sign up for an appointment. Sign-ups are encouraged, but not mandatory.
