Georgia Kicking Off Annual National Child Passenger Safety Week

The Georgia Governor's Office of Highway Safety and the Department of Public Health are teaming up to remind parents about the importance of car seat safety. National Child Passenger Safety Week runs from September 15-21, and certified technicians will be out checking car seats and raising awareness.

Studies show that car seats reduce the risk of fatal injury by 71% for infants and 54% for toddlers. Despite this, many car seats are installed incorrectly. State law requires children under eight to use a car seat or booster based on height and weight.

Allen Poole, Director of the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety, emphasizes that properly installed car seats can save lives. For those who can’t attend this week’s events, local fitting stations offer appointments to ensure your child's seat is safe.
