Santa Cruz, CA… Despite significant efforts, thousands of children and young adults continue to be killed and injured in traffic collisions nationwide. Many of these deaths and injuries could have been prevented through the use of a properly installed child safety seat, booster seat, or seatbelt.

In an effort to reduce injuries and fatalities, the California Highway Patrol (CHP) will be hosting a free child passenger safety seat check-up event. The goal of this event will be to educate parents and caregivers on the proper installation and use of child passenger safety seats, booster seats, and seatbelts. The CHP will have certified child passenger safety seat technicians on-site inspecting safety seats and offering traffic safety information.

The Santa Cruz CHP invites the public to this free event:
