The Westport Fire Department is hosting a child car seat safety check event in April.

7 out of 10 child car seats are not installed properly, but a quick check can keep your little one safe and sound.

That's why on April 29th the Westport Fire Department will have a free child car seat safety event at their HixBridge Road station.

Parents can simply drive up to the 54 HixBridge Road station between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. on Friday April 29th and staff will check to make sure that seat has been installed properly as well as check for any safety issues or recalls with that make and model of seat.

I know I've just gotten a new (bigger) car seat for my daughter and knowing I installed it correctly will give me tremendous peace of mind.
