Duluth Aims to Improve Child Safety with Car Seat Check Event at Fire Station 7Source: Facebook/Duluth Minnesota Fire Department

In a move that's part public service and part sobering wakeup call, the City of Duluth is hosting yet another Car Seat Check Event meant to lower the startling misuse rate of 88% identified at last year's checks. Set for January 30 at the Duluth Fire Station 7, from 4 PM to 6 PM, families are encouraged to swing by with their car seats to ensure they're using them correctly, according to a social media post from the City of Duluth, MN Government.

The event, located at 1419 Maple Grove Road, will provide car seat inspections, proper fitting guidance, installation tips, and the latest information on best practices and state laws. Supported by the local firefighters union and Safe Kids NE Minnesota, the initiative reflects a strong community commitment to keeping children safe in transit, as reported by the City of Duluth, MN Government.
