Child Passenger Safety Seats

The Reminder from the Pulaski Police Department...

Child passenger safety seats are one of the most effective tools for reducing serious injury and death in motor vehicle crashes. 

Properly installed and correctly fitted seats can lower the risk of fatal injury by as much as 71% for infants and 54% for toddlers. Despite their proven effectiveness, studies consistently show that a majority of child safety seats are installed or used incorrectly, often due to confusion about proper positioning, harnessing, or compatibility with specific vehicles. These errors can significantly reduce the level of protection a seat provides in the event of a collision.

To address this issue, the Pulaski Police Department encourages parents and caregivers to have their child safety seats professionally inspected. Corporol Taylor Keith, a certified child passenger safety seat inspector, offers expert assistance to ensure seats are installed correctly and adjusted to fit each child’s age, height, and weight. This service not only provides peace of mind but also equips caregivers with the knowledge needed to maintain proper seat usage over time.

Please stop by the Pulaski Police Department and speak with Corporol Taylor Keith if you have questions.
