Friday, August 26, 2011, 11am - 3pm. Parking lot across from the Northshore Baptist Church, 10222 NE 145th St. Bothell, WA.
Public Health - Seattle and King County is hosting a free child car seat check up event in Bothell. Bring your car, child car seat and child or infant and learn how to properly install your car seat. For more information, contact Alan Abe, 206-263-8544.
Bothell may seem like a little far to go, but worth it to be sure that your child is actually protected by their car seat.
The American Academy of Pediatrics recently recommended keeping children up to two years old in rear facing seats or until they have reached the maximum height and weight limits of the car seat as allowed by the manufacturer.
National research on child safety seats has found they reduce fatal injury by 71 percent for infants younger than one year old and by 54 percent for toddlers in passenger cars.
Providing effective and innovative health and disease prevention services for over 1.9 million residents and visitors of King County, Public Health – Seattle and King County works for safer and healthier communities for everyone, every day. More information here.

The picture in this story is dangerously misleading. That is not a car seat and should not be represented as one. There are enough idiots out there who don't restrain their children in cars correctly without giving anyone the idea that thing is a car seat.
