Free child safety seat inspections Nov. 28

Aliso Viejo Police Services and Safe Kids Orange County will conduct free child safety seat inspections on Wednesday, November 28 at Corpus Christi Catholic-Christian Church.

Certified child passenger safety technicians from Safe Kids Orange County can inspect the selection, installation and use of child safety and booster seats. Parents and caregivers will receive one-on-one instruction on how to properly use their child’s infant, convertible or booster seat.

The inspections are from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Appointments are highly recommended and are available by calling 714-532-8631.

The need for such a service is great. Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for children 3 to 14 years old. Last year, 1,210 children in the U.S. were killed in traffic-related incidents and 171,000 more children were injured. National data show that 73 percent of child restraints are critically misused, and at Safe Kids Orange County events, certified child passenger safety technicians usually see a 98 percent misuse rate.

When used properly, child restraints reduce the likelihood of an infant under the age of 1 being killed in a vehicle crash by 71 percent and by 54 percent for toddlers 1 to 4 years of age. Booster seats reduce injuries by 45 percent over seat belts alone for children ages 4 to 8. While many states have enhanced their requirements for child restraint use, recent studies show that only half of children ages 4 through 8 ride in any type of child restraint.

Corpus Christi Catholic-Christian Community is at 27231 Aliso Viejo Parkway. For more information about the inspections, call 949-425-2563.
