Free car seat safety check

The Habersham County Fire Department is sponsoring a car seat safety check today, Friday, October 3, at the Cornelia Fire Department station near K-Mart from 1-3 p.m. The event was moved to the fire station from Walmart due to the rain. The station has a covered carport so you don’t have to worry about getting soaked.

Lt. Matt Ruark of the Habersham County Fire Department says the car seat safety check is part of the Safe Kids Coalition program. It’s a chance for parents, grandparents and anyone with young children to make sure their car seats are properly installed and children are properly restrained. Ruark says the safety check is free and adds,”It’s a great way to make sure your kiddos are safe.”
