DERBY, N.Y. – Erie County Legislator Lynne Dixon, District 12, has partnered with the Erie County Stop DWI Office and North Evans Volunteer Firefighters to hold a free car seat safety check.

“Reports have shown that more than 90 percent of car seats are installed improperly. That is a shocking and dangerous statistic,” Legislator Dixon said. “Car seats that are not installed correctly are extremely hazardous, and I encourage all parents to stop and have their car seats checked during this event. Taking a few minutes out of their day could potentially save their child’s life.”

The check will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, August 14, at the Highland Hose Volunteer Fire Company, 1 George Nablo Parkway, Derby, NY 14047. Checks will take place in the parking lot.

Having law enforcement professionals check the seats helps ensure children’s car safety seats are installed properly which can prevent injuries and save lives.
