Kids grow quickly. Here's your reminder to check the harness height on your child’s car seat. If rear-facing, adjust the harness to the position at or just below your child’s shoulders. For forward-facing, choose the position at or just above your child’s shoulders.

Safe Kids Stark County, in partnership with Stark Library - Perry Sippo Branch, is hosting our first car seat check of the year!

Certified technicians will be on-site to make sure your child’s car seat is properly installed and to answer any questions you may have—because keeping kids safe is what matters most. Car seat check events like these help ensure seats are used correctly, which is so important since Stark County has a 75% misuse rate.

We are looking forward to seeing you there!
