In recognition of Child Safety Passenger Week (September 15-21), the Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) is announcing a series of free child seat safety events for parents, guardians, and caregivers in September. These events will feature certified child passenger safety technicians who will demonstrate how to properly install and use car seats, ensuring that children are secured correctly.
At each free event, parents, guardians, and caregivers will receive hands-on instruction from trained technicians. The technicians will help ensure that car seats are appropriate for the child’s age and size and that they are installed correctly. Additionally, attendees will learn about the importance of registering car seats with the manufacturer to receive notifications in case of recalls.
Child Seat Check-Up events will be held during Child Passenger Safety Week at the following time and location:
Tuesday, September 17, 12 pm – 3pm
Meriden Fire Department, Engine 2, 168 Chamberlain Highway, Meriden, CT. To book your free appointment, email Sergeant Adam Kery at akery@meridenct.gov.
