Drive Safe Hampton Roads to provide free child safety seat checks


Posted on Sep 23, 2008

Drive Safe Hampton Roads is kicking off National Child Passenger Safety Awareness Week with a free Child Safety Seat Check on September 20, 2008, 10:00am to 1:00pm, at AAA Tidewater, 5366 Virginia Beach Blvd. in Virginia Beach.

The week of September 21-28 is nationally designated as Child Passenger Safety Awareness Week to promote the increased and proper use of child safety seats and safety belts when children are riding in motor vehicles. To help educate parents and caregivers about the potential dangers of improperly installed child safety seats, Drive Safe Hampton Roads and their community partners will be offering to check safety seats for proper installation as part of the national "Safety Seat Saturday" kick off.

Drive Safe Hampton Roads would like to remind parents and caregivers that Virginia law requires all children under the age of eight to be properly restrained in a Department of Transportation (DOT). This law applies to any driver, not just the parent or the guardian, in any vehicle on any highway in Virginia. In addition, all children between the ages of eight and sixteen years of age must be properly restrained in a safety seat or belt, in any seating position in a vehicle.
