When the car seat is improperly installed or if the child is not positioned correctly, the risk for injury and death during an accident is increased.
OSF Saint Anthony Medical Center is offering free child passenger safety checks at twice a month at various locations. Certified car seat technicians will check the car seats in parents’ vehicles and provide education about correct installation and the proper way the child should be placed in the seat.
In June, car seat safety checks will be offered from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, June 6, at the OSF Center for Health – Rock Cut, 9551 Rock Cut Crossing in Loves Park. Reservations are not required.
Car seat safety checks will also be offered by appointment only from 3 to 6 p.m. on Wednesday, June 10, at OSF Guilford Square, 698 Featherstone Road in Rockford. Call 815-227-2323 to make a reservation.
