Safe Kids New Hanover

Safe Kids coalitions are affiliated with Safe Kids Worldwide to combat the causes of deaths among children caused by unintentional injuries. Local Safe Kids coalitions conduct a number of child passenger safety clinics and other injury prevention educational events throughout the year. These are locations where parents/caregivers can receive in person information about child passenger safety from

nationally certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians and have their car seats and seat belts checked to be sure they are installed and used correctly. To find you closest location, visit www.buckleupnc.org. Before you buy, read the labels on the car seat or booster seat. Look for the weight, height, and age limits to make sure the car seat is right for your child.
