Press Release- Free Car Seat Event
8/16/2019 12:00:00 AM
The McHenry County Sheriff's Office, in partnership with McHenry
County Safe Kids and Harvard Police Department will host a unified
child safety seat check event on Sunday, August 18th.
This free event is from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Harvard
Wal-Mart, 21101 McGuire Road, Harvard, IL.
Child Passenger Seat Safety technicians will be available to
educate and assist parents and caregivers with the correct
installation and use of child safety seats in their vehicles.
Technicians at the event will be available to answer any questions
you may have regarding child passenger safety recommendations.
Events such as these are designed to increase awareness
and the proper use of child safety seats. When used correctly,
child safety seats are one of the most important tools to safeguard
children travelling in motor vehicles. Involvement in traffic
crashes is a leading cause of death and serious injury to children
under the age of 16. Proper use of child safety seats is one of the
simplest yet most conscientious ways parents and adult caregivers
can reduce the likelihood of children being injured or killed in
motor vehicle crashes.
No registration or appointment is necessary to participate, but
parents are asked to bring the following to the event:
The child who will be using the safety seat.
- The vehicle in which the child safety seat will be installed
and the owner's manual for the vehicle.
- The child safety seat to be used.
- The user's guide or owner's manual that was provided with the
child safety seat.
