Most parents and caregivers with small children do their best and believe their car seats are installed correctly. Unfortunately, they are wrong: According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), almost 46% of car seats and booster seats are used incorrectly. As part of Child Passenger Safety Week , recognized Sept. 15 through 21, Cape Girardeau Safe Communities, Southeast Coalition for Roadway Safety partners and other safety advocates will host free car seat check events across southeast and south central Missouri. Parents and caregivers with small children can ensure their car seats are installed correctly by visiting an inspection station throughout the area. Locations include West Plains, Mtn. Grove and Licking. Certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians will provide education, perform car seat inspections, review expiration dates, discuss car seat installation, usage and car seat recalls. Checks take an average of 30 minutes to complete.
