Don't forget to visit to get your kiddos car seat inspected this Saturday in Evansdale!!!

Want your kiddos car seat checked? Here's a great opportunity to do so! Come visit the car seat inspection station at the Evansdale Community Response Center on Saturday, 10/3/26, from 10:00-12:00pm.

Buckling up is ALWAYS safest for your littlest...or biggest...of littles. For more information, visit Safe Kids Worldwide.

We asked over 1,000 parents and caregivers about situations in which they don’t buckle their child for every ride. We found out that men were more likely than women to report sometimes or often riding with their child unrestrained, regardless of the situation asked about.

Buckling up on every ride is the single most important thing a family can do to stay safe in the car. No trip is too short to buckle up. In a crash, correctly used child safety seats can reduce the risk of death by as much as 71 percent. Keep your kids safe on the road this Child Passenger Safety Week and make sure they’re safe and secure for every ride.

Add getting your kiddos car seat looked at to your back-to-school checklist!
via National CPS Certification

Back-to-school season means checklists everywhere — pencils, folders, new backpack. Add one more item to that list: back seat. Kids under 13 are safest riding in the back, buckled correctly in the seat that fits their age and size. Take a minute this week to double-check everyone's ride is set up right before the first bell rings.
