Henrico Police | Child Safety Seat Check-Up Event

March 23, 2024 at 10:00 am - 2:00 pm

Child Safety Seat Check Up Event

 

The Henrico County Police Division, with assistance from the New Kent County Sheriff’s Office, Virginia DMV and VCU Health, will host a Child Safety Seat Check-Up event on March 23, 2024, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Varina Area Library (1875 New Market Road, Henrico VA).

WHO

This FREE event is an opportunity for Richmond metro-area residents to make sure their child’s car seat/booster seat is installed properly. Registration for this event is strongly encouraged for planning purposes.

FACTS

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), while most parents and caregivers are confident that they have correctly installed their child’s car seat, almost half (46%) have been installed incorrectly. A properly used/installed car seat can reduce the risk of death for your child by 71%.

WHAT TO BRING

If you plan to attend the event, please bring the following items/individuals, if possible:

  • The seats with accompanying manuals
  • Child(ren) who will be using the seats, if possible
  • Any caregivers (ie. family members, nannies/sitters) who transport the child(ren) in the seats so everyone can be helped and educated on proper use

This event is currently scheduled rain or shine. In the event of severe inclement weather, the event will be postponed to a later date.

MORE INFORMATION

In the event there is a large number of vehicles waiting for the check-up, Henrico Police does offer Child Safety Seat Check-Ups by appointment. An online form can be filled out here: https://henrico.gov/services/child-safety-seat-check/, and one of our Child Passenger Safety Technicians will work to schedule an appointment with you.
