CHILD SAFETY SEAT INSPECTION

Safety Seats and Booster Seats Inspected for proper installation.  National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that 75% are installed improperly.  Call (330) 747-8657 ext. 13 for Geno November, Chapter Training Coordinator to schedule a free inspection at our chapter. Donations are accepted. You can also reach Mr. November at geno@nscnohio.org 

Fit Test to Determine if Booster Seat Fits Your Child (from Safe Kids USA) 

1. Place your child on the booster seat and fasten the lap and shoulder seat belts around the child.
2. Use the seat belt guides on the booster seat for the lap and shoulder belts.
3. Check to be sure the lap belt rests on the top of the thighs or low on the hips.
4. Check to be sure the shoulder belt is positioned on the bony shoulder- not the neck or face.  Never place the shoulder belt under the arm or behind the back.
