Thanks for support for child car seat check

Snohomish County Safe Kids would like to sincerely thank Gordie Jr. and Roy Robinson for their generous support in Child Passenger Safety. On July 16, Safe Kids and Roy Robinson teamed up to offer a free car seat check to the community. The check helped parents, grandparents and caregivers attain the safest fit possible in their vehicles. Motor vehicle crashes account for nearly 42 percent of all unintentional childhood injury-related deaths. Statistics show that one of eight car seats is installed incorrectly. Robinson recognizes the challenges of properly restraining children in car seats and is committed to the Safe Kids mission to prevent accidental injury or death. If you would like more information on car seat safety or where you can get your seat checked, visit us at www.snosafekids.org.
