Press Release, Orleans County Sheriff’s Office

ALBION – National Seat Check is this Saturday. This event is held during National Child Passenger Safety Week. Each year there is a week set aside to bring attention to child passenger safety.

The Orleans County Sheriff’s Office will check child car seats from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Dollar Tree in Albion, 330 West Ave.

According to data, vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for children ranging from 1 to 13 years of age. Preventative measures, such as proper installation of car seats, boosters and seat belts can lower many deaths and injuries.

Informing and instructing parents and caregivers on child safety and proper installation of car seats is critical to saving young lives.

Our certified child passenger safety technicians will inspect car/booster seats to assure that children are in the correct seat for their size and age. If you have any questions, please contact Sgt. Kevin Colonna at 585-589-5527 or Kevin.Colonna@orleanscountyny.gov.
