Registration now available for March 9 child car-seat education class
Registration is now available for a free class designed to educate parents and caregivers about child-passenger safety.
The Car Seat Education Class for Parents/Caregivers, hosted by the city’s Family Resource Center and Aliso Viejo Police Services, will take place from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. March 9 at the Aliso Viejo Family Resource Center, 24671 Via Iglesia. The course will be taught in English and Spanish. Attendees will receive a new car seat.
Officials say there is a 98 percent misuse of child-car seats in Orange County. The informative presentation will help address common questions and issues such as important safety rules; when a child can start using a forward-facing seat; what to do if car seats are too loose; what types of seats should be used at what age; and much more.
The class, which is limited to 10 participants, is for parents, guardians or caregivers only. Children are not allowed. Participants must also show proper proof of income eligibility in order to receive a free car seat.
Pre-registration is required and available by calling 949-425-2519 or sending an e-mail to gduran@cityofalisoviejo.com
