This is National Child Passenger Safety Week.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said that 46% of car seats are misused.
Common issues are children being in the wrong type of car seat for their age and size, and car seats being installed improperly — both of which leave children vulnerable to injury in a crash.
You can get free safety seat inspection at the Prestonsburg Police Department through September 20th from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
More inspections will be at Compassion Pediatrics Pikeville today from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., at the Pikeville Walmart on the 19th from 2 to 4 p.m., and at the Prestonsburg City Hall on the 21st from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
