Get your car seats checked by certified child passenger safety technicians in Denver
This week, parents and caregivers can get their car seats checked by certified child passenger safety technicians in Denver. The inspection is free of charge.
According to Car Seats Colorado, the free inspections are part of National Child Passenger Safety Week which runs from Sept. 15-23.
Technicians will make sure the car seat has been installed correctly and is adjusted properly. Last year, 78% of car seats inspected by child passenger safety technicians were not being used correctly or were not installed properly. That's an 8% increase from year to year.
