Why Car Seats Matter

Depending on your age, when you were a child, you likely rode around in a car seat until you were around five or six years old. These weren't just so you could see out the window, they're incredibly important for child safety.

These seats can reduce fatalities by up to 71% for infants, and up to 54% for toddlers. It's vital that you use the correct seat for your child, as everyone is different, and certain car seats may be more effective for you than others.

Picking the Right Car Seat

It can be a challenge, figuring out which car seat is the correct one for your child, which is why New York State Police are here to help. On February 11th from 4 to 7p.m. at NYS Police Troop G Headquarters (760 Troy Schenectady Road, Latham, NY) Child Passenger Safety Technicians will help you prepare your car seat properly.

These specialists will also be able to answer any questions you may have about the process. An appointment is required to partake, which you can schedule by contacting Troop G Traffic at 518-783-3258.
