North Fayette Township issued the following announcement on Sept. 16.
Seat Check Saturday - September 25, 2021
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) promotes the fourth Saturday in September as Seat Check Saturday.
With one child under the age of 13 injured in an automobile accident every 33 seconds, the NHTSA hopes everyone will spread the news.
The proper use of child safety seats is the leading preventative measure parents and childcare providers can implement to avoid injury and death in young children. One 2016 safety fact to note is 328 children under 5 years of age were saved by car seats.
How to Observe #SeatCheckSaturday
Take a little time to learn the laws of your state’s DOT website about age, height, and weight restrictions for children in safety or booster seats. Be sure to look over the information on NHTSA.gov/TheRightSeat for additional help choosing and installing these safety seats.
Use #SeatCheckSaturday on social media to spread the news about this National Day to your family and friends with little ones.
The North Fayette Police Department has two certified technicians to assist you with installing car seats and booster seats. Call us at 412-787-8900 to arrange a personal appointment.
Register for this free Virtual Car Seat Safety Event (online via Zoom) taking place on September 25, 2021, between 10:00am and 3:00pm ET.
