Trooper across Pennsylvania hosting free car seat safety checks next week

PITTSBURGH — State troopers are hosting events to ensure your child is safe in their car seat.

In conjunction with National Child Passenger Safety Week, troopers who are certified as Child Passenger Safety Technicians are participating in free events across the state.

At these events, caregivers can have their car seats checked for suitability, receive instruction on the proper installation, have seats installed, and learn how to properly harness a child in a seat.

Most of the events do not require appointments.
