Certified car seat safety technicians will be on hand to demonstrate proper car seat installation, an area of critical need as nearly half of all car seats are improperly installed. Families who need assistance will have access to a limited supply of free car seats, offered to those in need of a new or replacement seat.

Parents are asked to stay with their children for the event’s duration.

For more information, contact the Planning and Community Development Department at 903-798-3904 or TxDOT Traffic Safety Specialist Emyli Speer at (903) 310-8452.
