The free child safety seat inspections

Several Metro Police Traffic Unit officers, who are certified child safety seat inspectors, will be available this Saturday at Metro Southeast, 1417 Murfreesboro Pike, to provide free seat inspections to ensure that children receive maximum protection while riding in vehicles.
The free child safety seat inspections will be available from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. During the inspections, officers will provide instruction on the proper installation of safety seats and check seat model numbers against those that have been the subject of manufacturer recalls.
An estimated 73% of car seats are not used or installed correctly. When used correctly, child safety seats can reduce the risk of death by as much as 71%. Parents or guardians are invited to bring their child and their current safety seat for a free inspection.
Citizens are also welcome to call the Traffic Section at 862-7738 to schedule an appointment at the Metro Southeast office.
