Child Car Seat Check Set For June 27 In Huntersville

HUNTERSVILLE, NC — Every parent has been there at some point — bent over uncomfortably in the back seat, pushing fingers in seat creases searching for latch points while bouncing up and down and pulling at various straps to lash down a car seat.

Given the precious cargo, it's important to make sure car seats are properly installed. Huntersville Police have a series of community events offering free inspections and installation of car seats.

HPD will offer a Child Seat Check Wednesday, June 27 at Huntersville Fire Station 1, located at 110 S. Old Statesville Road, from 3:30 p.m. until 6:30 p.m.
