Rockford, IL – Parents in Rockford can take advantage of a free car seat safety check this Saturday, November 15, hosted by the Rockford Fire Department at Target, 6560 E. State St. The event runs from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and aims to help families ensure their child safety seats are properly installed.
According to the Rockford Fire Department, certified child passenger safety technicians will be on-site to provide hands-on education, assistance with new car seat installation, and checks on existing setups to verify proper fit and safety.
Organizers encourage parents to bring their child, the car seat’s instruction manual, and their vehicle’s owner’s guide to help technicians provide the most accurate service. No appointment is needed, and the event is free to the public.
Improper car seat installation remains a leading safety issue, with national studies showing that a majority of child seats are not installed correctly. Events like this one aim to reduce that risk and ensure Rockford families have peace of mind on the road.
