Did you know that more than 70 percent of child safety seats are not installed correctly?
The Missouri Coalition for Roadway Safety and the Missouri State Highway Patrol are teaming up to drive down that number during National Child Passenger Safety week, Sept. 17-23.
Certified Safety Seat Technicians Sgt. Scott White of the Missouri State Highway Patrol and Becky Lenon of the coalition will be offering free child safety seat checks from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 19 at the Missouri Department of Transportation’s Central District office, 1511 Missouri Blvd, Jefferson City.
The seat checks will take place in the parking lot behind the building. No appointments are necessary, and each vehicle will receive a goody bag, courtesy of the Missouri Coalition for Roadway Safety.
For more information, please contact Becky Lenon at 573-522-1061 or Sgt. Scott White at 573-751-1000.
