To help ensure children are riding safely, the Forsyth County Fire Department will hold a free child safety seat inspection event Friday, April 24 from 1 to 3 p.m. in the Target parking lot off Market Place Boulevard in Cumming.
The event will focus on the safety of all children who are transported using child safety seats and booster seats. During the inspections, parents will be educated on the proper installation and use of their child safety seats and will then install the child safety seats themselves to ensure their understanding of the procedure. During the event, adult supervision will be provided for children while parents are being educated about and installing their seats.
In the past, as many as 90% of the child safety seats inspected by the Fire Department's trained technicians have been found to be improperly installed.
For questions regarding the child safety seat inspection event, call Forsyth County Fire Department Headquarters at 770.781.2180 (extension 0).
