It's Child Passenger Safety Week! Let's review some facts about car seat safety!

For correct fit, chest clips should sit at armpit level. To double check the tightness of harness straps, use the "pinch test" at the shoulder. Straps should be tight enough so that there is no slack to be pinched.*

For more information on car seat safety, ask a CPST for help!

*Always refer to your specific car seat and vehicle safety manual.

It's Child Passenger Safety Week! Let's review some facts about car seat safety!

Most car seats require the use of either the LATCH system OR vehicle seat belts to install a car seat- not both! Using both of these options at the same time may negatively impact the way your seat functions in a crash. Always refer to your specific car seat and vehicle safety manual when installing your seat.

It's Child Passenger Safety Week! Let's review some facts about car seat safety!

Colder weather is around the corner! Always remove bulky clothing, like coats, before securing your child in their car seat.* Leaving bulky layers beneath the harness prevent it from properly tightening. This can make your child less secure in the event of a crash.

It's Child Passenger Safety Week! Let's review some facts about car seat safety!

Did you know that IL law requires children to stay rear facing until they are at leaset 2 years old? However, it is best to keep children rear facing until they reach the height and/or weight limit on their rear facing car seat setting.*
Rear facing in a crash provides better protection from head and neck injury.
Feet touching the seat? This does not necessarily mean it's time to turn them around! Children can generally sit with their legs in any comfortable position.

*Always refer to your specific car seat and vehicle safety manual.

Join the Illinois Department of Public Health and the Boone County Health Department in “Fight the Bite” by taking steps to prevent mosquito and tick bites that can make you sick. Continue to protect yourself against mosquito-borne diseases by applying EPA-registered insect repellent and dumping out standing water around your home.

Did you know wearing permethrin-treated clothing can prevent tick and mosquito bites? You can either look for clothing already treated with permethrin or treat them yourself.

For DIY, use 0.5% permethrin, read the instructions, spray clothing, flip over, spray again, then hang to dry. More details: https://youtu.be/CSS_FeIgaoc
