Ensuring your child’s car seat is properly installed and used can significantly reduce the risk of injury or death in a car accident. That’s why it’s crucial to have your car seat inspected by a Nationally Certified Child Passenger Safety Technician. At the Jackson County Public Library, you can schedule a car seat check with Emily or Ashley by calling 606-287-8113. These certified librarian technicians are available to help you understand how to properly install and use car seats according to state laws and manufacturer guidelines, ensuring your child is safe and secure on every journey. Additionally, if you qualify, the library can provide car seats to those in need.

In Jackson County, safety scores for car seat compliance have been alarmingly low. The importance of proper car seat use cannot be overstated: correctly securing your child in an appropriate car seat dramatically reduces the risk of injury in the event of a crash. Parents and caregivers are encouraged to take advantage of this free service to help prevent unintentional injuries.

The library also hosts Car Seat Check events throughout the year. Be sure to check the library’s event calendar for these important safety events. Keeping your child in a properly secured car seat not only follows state guidelines but also plays a critical role in their overall safety while traveling.
