Car safety seat check date scheduled

SPIRIT LAKE — Is your child’s safety seat installed correctly? Maybe you are you a new or expecting parent who is unfamiliar with car seats or latch systems. Or maybe you aren’t sure what the appropriate seat is based on your child’s age, weight and height.

Thanks to a car seat safety check planned for April 13, you don’t have to wonder or worry. The event, planned for 10 a.m.-1 p.m., will be held at Timberlake Junior High School, 5830 W Blackwell Boulevard, in Spirit Lake.

Certified safety seat technicians from Kootenai Health will be on site to inspect your child’s installed car/booster seat to ensure proper fit and safety. Officers will also be there to educate parents and drivers about the laws in Idaho regarding child safety seats.

A limited number of seats will be available to replace any old, ill-fitting or unsafe seats for anyone in need.
