It's Child Passenger Safety Week! Did you know:
🚘 There is a correct car seat for your child's age and size. The type of seat they need changes as they grow.
🚘 You should never leave kids unattended in vehicles. Temperatures inside cars can rise rapidly, and children can suffer heatstroke in minutes, even on mild days.
🚘 You can set a good example with seat belts! All passengers should be properly buckled up on every trip, no matter how short. Kids learn by watching adults.
🚘 Three out of four car seats are installed incorrectly. Make sure your seat is secured tightly with less than one inch of movement at the belt path.
THIS SATURDAY, September 27, have your car seat checked by the experts! CaroMont Health partners with Safe Kids Gaston County and organizations around our region to host car seat safety checks. Your next opportunity is this Saturday at Target in Gastonia. Having a professional inspection is one of the best ways parents can ensure their child's safety!
