Saladino Announces Child Car Seat Safety Check

Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino and the Town Board, in partnership with the EAC Network, invite residents to a Child Car Seat Safety Check on Tuesday, October 14th, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at Marjorie Post Park (451 Unqua Road, Massapequa). The rain date is scheduled for Wednesday, October 15th.

Every year, countless children are injured or killed in motor vehicle accidents due to improperly installed car seats. National statistics show that as many as 3 out of 4 car seats are not installed correctly – a preventable mistake that can have devastating consequences.

Supervisor Saladino stated, “Motor vehicle crashes are the number one cause of death for children. Child car seats are proven to drastically reduce the chance of fatal injuries, but only if installed properly. Our goal is to give parents peace of mind by ensuring their car seats are safe and secure. I encourage every parent and caregiver to take advantage of this free safety check.”

Trained technicians will be on-site to inspect car seats, provide hands-on guidance, and ensure each child passenger is riding as safely as possible.

Appointments are required. Call (516) 624-6308 today to schedule your spot—spaces fill quickly. Together, we can help keep our community’s children safe.
