Prince George’s County Police Conducts Spring Car Seat Check-up

Prince George’s County, Maryland… The Prince George’s County Police Department, in partnership with the Prince George’s Community Federal Credit Union, will conduct a car seat check-up on Saturday, March 24, 2012, at the Forestville Military Academy.  The car seat check-up is free and open to the public.  All children need to be buckled up for safety. 

Certified car seat technicians will check for recalls, ensure that child passenger car seats and boosters are installed correctly, and that the harness and vehicle installation are correct for the child.  The service takes about 30 minutes and involves drivers, parents and caretakers in the check-up.  The Prince George’s Community Federal Credit Union will replace the first five car seats that have been recalled or that are unsafe.  All car seats must be installed upon arrival at the car seat check-up site.  Appointments are not necessary.
