TXDOT HOLDING CAR SEAT/BOOSTER SEAT INSPECTIONS IN NAVASOTA

  

The Texas Department of Transportation is inviting the public to a free car seat and booster seat inspection event.

The inspections are going to be done on Thursday, May 14, from 3-6pm at the Grimes County Maintenance Office located at 1560 North LaSalle Street in Navasota.

Child Passenger Safety Technicians will be on hand to provide education on proper usage and installation of car seats, along with conducting inspections of the families’ current seats.

Motor vehicle crashes are a leading cause of death among children. While most people believe their children are properly buckled up, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration points out that 46% of all car seats are misused.

TXDOT says the best way to keep young children safe in your vehicle is to make sure they’re properly buckled up in a car seat. That means selecting a car seat that’s appropriate for a child’s age and size and installing it correctly.

Please call (979) 402-4785, or scan the QR Code to schedule an appointment.

Limited appointments are available, and children must be present for the event.
