The city of Coral Springs has organized a free event focused on educating and supporting parents and caregivers to ensure that children of car seat age are securely and safely restrained.
The Coral Springs-Parkland Fire Department will host a Car Seat Installation event on Saturday, September 28, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the City Hall Parking Garage at 9500 W. Sample Road.
Certified car seat installers will be available to answer inquiries and help install new and existing car seats for parents and caregivers.
While the Coral Springs-Parkland Fire Department regularly offers car seat checks and installation services by appointment, the event marks the first time they will host a walk-up style installation service open to the community.
The event is being held on the heels of National Child Passenger Safety Week, which takes place from September 15 through September 21.
According to statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, car seats reduce the risk of fatal injury to infants in passenger cars by almost 71%. Shockingly, in 2021, 36% of children under 13 who died in passenger vehicles were unrestrained.
Residents planning the event are encouraged to bring their car seats and ensure the installation area remains clear to benefit from this vital installation service.
