RIDGWAY – Troop C of the Pennsylvania State Police continues its effort to reduce the number of improperly installed child safety seats by offering free safety seat checks to the public. At these events, troopers will examine all child restraint seats for proper installation and parents will receive instructions on how to correct deficiencies. These checks also help identify defective seats and seats that are affected by recalls from the manufacturer.
With the recent implementation of additions to the Pennsylvania child safety seat law, the checks provide an excellent opportunity to have any questions regarding the regulations answered.
State police will conduct a child passenger safety seat check at the following location:
Keystone Clinic of Chiropractic
52 Main St.
Falls Creek, PA 15840
May 19 between 2 and 6 p.m.
The state police also wish to remind parents that monthly child passenger seat fitting stations are conducted free of charge at all Troop C barracks.
