WHAT: AAA Texas and the Greater Houston Safe Kids coalition will host a
free child safety seat inspection from 2 PM to 5 PM at the Humble
Convention Center located at 8233 Will Clayton Parkway in
Humble, TX.
WHY: "Past inspections have shown that parents are not installing their
child safety seats correctly," said AAA Texas spokeswoman, Rose
Rougeau. "Installation is not a simple procedure due to the
diversity of safety seats marketed by different manufacturers and
the various restraint systems offered in motor vehicles today,"
added Rougeau.
In Texas, motorists can be stopped and cited for lack of or improper
safety restraint.
Interested parents need to simply bring the following with them to
the safety seat inspection: their automobile, their child who rides
in the safety seat and the safety seat. Law enforcement,
firefighters and other nationally certified child passenger safety
technicians will teach parents how to properly install the safety
seat, check to see if the seat is in good working condition and
check for safety recalls.
WHEN: Monday, July 23, 2007 (2 PM to 5 PM)
WHERE: Humble Convention Center, 8233 Will Clayton Parkway, Humble, TX
