SAVE THE DATE! 🗓
The Henrico County Police Division, with assistance from the New Kent County Sheriff’s Office, Virginia DMV and VCU Health, will host a Child Safety Seat Check-Up event on March 23, 2024, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Varina Area Library (1875 New Market Road, Henrico VA).
This FREE event is an opportunity for Richmond metro-area residents to make sure their child’s car seat/booster seat is installed properly. Registration for this event is strongly encouraged for planning purposes and can be done here: https://forms.office.com/g/5bxC7BrJuY?origin=lprLink.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), while most parents and caregivers are confident that they have correctly installed their child’s car seat, almost half (46%) have been installed incorrectly. A properly used/installed car seat can reduce the risk of death for your child by 71%.
More details on what to bring, and if you're unable to make it that day, can be found here: https://henrico.us/calendar/henrico-police-child-safety-seat-check-up-event/.
