Local State Troopers to Provide Free Child Passenger Safety Seat Checks

JEFFERSON/CLEARFIELD CO., Pa. — Troop C of the Pennsylvania State Police continues its effort to reduce the number of improperly installed child passenger 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 any deficiencies. These checks also help identify defective seats and seats that are affected by recalls from the manufacturer.

With the implementation of additions to the Pennsylvania Child Safety Seat Law the checks provide an excellent opportunity to have any questions regarding the regulations answered.

The Pennsylvania State Police will conduct child passenger safety seat checks at the following locations:
