Pocomoke PD helps with car seat safety

 

Does your car seat have a snug fit? Do the “inch test” to find out. A properly installed car seat shouldn’t move more than one inch front to back or side to side when pulled at the seat belt path. Get more tips and resources in the Ultimate Car Seat Guide: http://www.ultimatecarseatguide.org

If you have questions about harnessing your child or installing your car seats, call the Pocomoke City Police Department at (410)957-1600 to set up an appointment with Ptl. Northam, a certified Child Passenger Safety Technician, to get your child's car seat checked for FREE!
