Parents and caregivers in Coon Rapids have the opportunity to ensure their children's safety on the road through a free car seat clinic. The Coon Rapids Police Department is hosting the event on December 3, from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm. Certified car seat technicians will be on hand to inspect and install car seats, making certain that they are secured and used correctly.
The importance of proper car seat installation is often underscored by safety experts, with misuse commonly reported. According to the Coon Rapids Police Department, their technicians can provide peace of mind for parents unsure about the installation process. In a social media post, the department stated, "Our car seat technicians can ensure your car seat is installed properly."
While the clinic is free, attendees are encouraged to sign up in advance. This ensures that there is ample time for each car seat check and that the event can run smoothly for everyone involved.
