CLARION, Pa. (EYT) – Seidle Chevrolet Buick GMC will pair up with State Police to offer free child passenger safety seat checks on Monday, November 14, in Clarion.
(Pictured above: Clarion State Police Trooper Scott Yockey inspects a child car seat belonging to Breanne Skrzypec of Shippenville.)
State Police will be on hand from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. to check safety seats.
Each year, thousands of young children are killed or injured in car crashes, with between 72 and 84 percent of child car seats being reportedly misused.
However, upcoming car seat inspections at Seidle’s and surrounding areas make it easy to ensure children’s safety when riding on the roads.
Inspection appointments can also be made at most State Police stations, fire stations, and ambulance centers. Even if a particular station cannot assist with an inspection, it should be able to recommend a nearby location.
As part of the “Click It or Ticket” traffic enforcement program, the State Police will be offering these hassle-free, no-appointment checks from November 14 through November 22 for the following locations.
