Four out of five car seats are installed and/or used wrong. Could your child's be one of them?  Make sure it's not. Make an appointment today for a free car seat safety check, sponsored by Texas Children's Childhood Injury Prevention Center and the Greater Houston Coalition for SAFE KIDS. Visit one of several locations in the greater Houston area today!

It's best to bring your children so we can ensure the seats are appropriate and fit them properly. Our inspectors take about 20 minutes teaching parents how to install their children's car seat correctly.

For more information about upcoming car-seat safety checks, call Mari Hodges at 832-828-1314.
