Full Notification

Each year thousands of young children are killed or injured in-car crashes. The proper installation and use of car seats will help keep children safe.

On Thursday May 25th there will be a Car Seat Clinic at Dollar Tree (2191 S. St Rd 46, Terre Haute, In) from 11:30 am- 2:30 pm.

Certified technicians will help parents and caregivers learn to install and use their child safety restraints properly. No appointment is required, just drop by during the event. Each car seat check will take about 30-minutes. The last car will be accepted at 2:15 pm unless demand necessitates an earlier cut off time.  Because parents and caregivers have different levels of confidence when it comes to using and installing child safety seats this clinic has something for everyone.  The 30 minute child safety seat check is intended to be an interactive learning experience from a certified technician so parents and caregivers can feel more comfortable installing and using their car seats.

As part of the clinic, parents are urged to register their car seats by mailing in the consumer registration card or by using manufacturer’s website. By registering your car seat, the manufacturer has the ability to contact consumers about recalls and safety notices.   As a parent, you are your kids’ strongest influence when it comes to modeling safe driving practices, including buckling up every time you get in the car. Teach your family that safety is the responsibility of all passengers as well as the driver.

This clinic is made possible by the cooperation of several community organizations including: Dollar Tree, CHANCES and Services for Youth, Union Health Group, Safe Kids of Vigo County, Honey Creek Fire Department, and Riley Fire Department.
