Child
Passenger Safety Seat Checks |
| It is estimated that
as many as 90% of all child safety seats are installed incorrectly
throughout the country. The purpose of these free child safety
seat checks is to give parents an opportunity to ensure that the seats
they use for their children are being utilized properly. The seat
may not function properly if it is not installed in the way that the
manufacturer designed. |
| Our officers undergo a
week-long training to be certified as Child Passenger Safety
Technicians. They learn how to identify and install the hundreds
of different types and styles of child passenger seats. In
addition, they learn which seats are appropriate for what age groups. |
| Various businesses and
organizations sponsor these events, approximately once a month,
throughout Joliet and sometimes into Will County. Often prizes are
distributed, along with goodies for the children. Organizers try
to make the experience fun for both the parents and the children.
Click here to check our website for upcoming
events. If none are listed, or you would like to see other events
throughout the Chicagoland area, they are listed at
another separate site. |
| It is important to
bring your child with you to these events, to ensure that the seat is
set for the correct person. |

Should
You Get Your Child's Safety Seat Checked? |
| It has been
estimated that over 90% of all child safety seats are either installed
or used incorrectly. Here are some questions to ask yourself... |
- Does their seat seem
too loose?
- Are the straps on your
child loose?
- Have you ever wondered
if your child's seat is installed correctly?
|
| If you
answered "yes" to any of these questions, perhaps you should
consider attending a FREE child safety seat check. Your child's
seat will be checked by a certified technician who will in turn teach
you how to properly install the seat. |
