Please check out below the information we are sharing from the Mercer County Sheriff's Office for a very beneficial program of Car Seat Safety Checks.

"COMMUNITY NEWS: MERCER COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE TO CONTINUE CAR SEAT SAFETY CHECK PROGRAM for 2022
Mercer County Sheriff Jack Kemler announced that on-site child seat safety checks would continue this year at the Colonial Fire Company, located at 801 Kuser Road in Hamilton Township. The free program, partially funded by a grant from the NJ Division of Highway Traffic Safety, is part of the Sheriff's ongoing campaign to help parents, grandparents, expecting parents, and others properly secure their children in an automobile. Trained and certified Sheriff's Officers will conduct each child seat check for proper installation. They will also help figure out if your child is in the right seat for their age and size.
'No one ever wants to get it wrong when it comes to a child's safety. It is important for parents, grandparents, and those expecting a child to know that your children will be secure in their car seat and are in the right seat for their age and size.' said Kemler.
The car seat safety check-ups will take place from 5:00 PM - 8:00 PM on the last Tuesday of each month for 2022. The dates are January 25, February 22, March 29, April 26, May 31, June 28, July 26, August 30, September 27, October 25, and November 29 (there are no inspections in December due to the holiday season). Inspections take place in a weather-protected area at the rear of the firehouse. Participants should install their car seats before arrival and follow all health-minded guidance and any masking requirements while at the event.
