CARLTON – Orleans County Sheriff Christopher M. Bourke announced a Child Car Seat Check Point Event will be held on Tuesday at Orleans County Marine Park from 4 to 8 p.m. The Marine Park is located at 1110 Point Breeze Rd.

According to data, vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for children ranging from the ages of 1 to 13. 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 your car/booster seats to assure that your child is in the correct seat for their size and age. Car seat questions, please contact Certified Technician Kevin Colonna at 585-589-5527 or Kevin.Colonna@orleanscountyny.gov.

Any unvaccinated adults and children over the age of 2 attending this event are required to wear a mask and adhere to safe distance protocol.
