WHO: Child Passenger Safety Technicians, parents and caregivers and more.

WHY: Motor vehicle accidents are one of the leading causes of death in children, and alarmingly, 4 out of 5 car seats are installed incorrectly. This highlights the urgent need for action to minimize preventable harm and fatalities in our community. Properly using a vehicle restraint significantly decreases the risk of hospitalization, injury, and death.
