If you have some free time Saturday morning, why not spend it making sure your children are safe?
The Maricopa County Department of Public Health says up to 90 percent of the time, car seats are being used incorrectly. With car crashes being one of the leading causes of child deaths, it's important to know the basics.
From 8 a.m. to noon on Saturday, certified car seat technicians are taking action and will be providing free inspections and installation help for families in four parts of the Valley.
