Columbus police host child car seat safety check

The Columbus Police Department with the assistance of Dorel Juvenile will host a child car seat safety check from 9 to 11 a.m. Friday  in the police department’s parking lot at 123 Washington St.

During the event, the public is encouraged to stop by and have their child’s car safety seats checked by certified car seat technicians from Dorel Juvenile at no charge. The check and installation of a car seat will take less than 15 minutes.

“It is not uncommon for our officers to see booster and child safety seats installed and used incorrectly,” said Lt. Matt Harris, public relations officer for the Columbus Police Department.
