Car Seat Safety

Vehicle passenger safety studies reveal that nearly 80 percent of children's car seats used nationwide are not properly installed. To address this problem, Beaumont Children's has teamed up with Mike Savoie Chevrolet to offer free safety seat checks and installation instructions for area families.

The checks will be held at Mike Savoie Chevrolet (1900 W. Maple Rd., Troy, Mich.) on the second Thursday of each month.

These free car seat safety checks are performed by certified child passenger safety technicians and are available by appointment only.
