CHILD car seat checks are available in Warwickshire.
People can receive free car seat checks and vehicle maintenance advice at events hosted by Warwickshire Road Safety Partnership during the half-term holiday.
These events aim to raise awareness about the importance of correctly fitted child seats to reduce avoidable child passenger casualties, as well as provide information and advice on choosing, buying and installing car seats.
The event is also being supported by Warwickshire Fire and Rescue who will be in available to offer vehicle maintenance advice, including checking tyres, oil, and screen wash levels and supporting drivers with completing these checks themselves.
Events are taking place at Asda in Chapel Street, Rugby on Tuesday May 27, Tesco in Birmingham Road, Stratford on Thursday May 29 and Asda in Chesterton Drive, Sydenham, Leamington on Friday May 30.
Mark Ryder, Warwickshire County Council’s communities spokesperson, said; “Child car seat safety is very important, and we want to ensure that Warwickshire parents know how to fit their child’s car seat correctly in their cars. Having correctly fitted car seats can help to keep children safe during car journeys.
“To ensure you are following the law, the government has set out a guideline such as making sure to check the child car seats are suitable for your child based on their height and weight.”
