Maple Grove residents have an opportunity to ensure their children's car seats are installed correctly and safely, thanks to a clinic organized by local authorities and health organizations. On September 21, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., Maple Grove Fire Station 4 will become a hub for child vehicle safety. In collaboration with the Maple Grove Police Department, Maple Grove Fire Department, North Memorial Health, and Safe Kids Northwest Metro Minneapolis, the station at 8925 Lawndale Ln N, Maple Grove, will host this essential service for the community. For those interested in attending, the seat checks are offered at no cost, although donations to the program are welcome.
Nationally certified technicians at the clinic will be on hand to inspect and adjust child car seats for proper installation, which is a critical service given that the correct use of car seats and boosters is known to significantly reduce the risk of injury in vehicular accidents involving young ones. There is no charge for the clinics, and appointments, which are expected to last approximately 30-45 minutes per seat, can be made by calling 763-581-3743 or sending an email to [email protected]; this full-service approach ensures that each car seat receives a thorough check from experts who understand the complexities of proper installation.

This community initiative demonstrates the combined efforts of multiple organizations to promote the well-being of children, showing a strong commitment to preventative measures that can save lives and ensure the health of future generations.
