Henrico Police is stepping up to help families ensure their children's car seats are properly installed, offering a free safety check event this weekend.
The event will take place on Saturday, July 19, at the Walmart off Nine Mile Road from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Certified child safety seat technicians will be available to install or review car seats for parents, caregivers and guardians with young children.
"We know that there are a lot of families that are going on vacation this summer, and so we figured this was a great opportunity for those families to come through a little drive up set up and make sure that those seats are installed correctly," Henrico Police spokesperson Karina Bolster said.
Approximately 46 percent of car seats aren't installed correctly, despite what some parents may think, according to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration.
