Well.....is it?

It feels as if you need to be as smart as a nuclear physicist who is as fit as a US Olympic gymnasts to install one of these properly.

We have good news. Not only do we have two certified Child Safety Seat Technicians within our department, Officers Robert Winters and Tanner Suplita, but one of them will be at the Town's Harvest Festival this Saturday at Waterford Beach (Oct. 11 from 11am-3pm).

Want to set up a time for Officer Winters to work with you to ensure the child safety seat is installed properly, please email him directly to set up an appointment for this Saturday: rwinters@waterfordct.org.

Now what do they call the dismount from the car seat when you finally fall out of the door all sweaty...the Triple Lindy?

If anyone gets that last line....please let us know.....but you are dating yourself.

Acetaminophen continues to be an important and safe option for managing pain and fever in pregnancy—conditions that can pose serious risks to pregnant patients and their fetuses if left untreated.
