The Estevan Fire and Rescue hosted a car seat clinic Thursday morning and had a great turnout. The clinic was a free drop-in clinic that ran from 8 am - 12 noon. The clinic was a chance for parents to stop in and have their child's car seat checked by a car seat technician to ensure it was secured properly to help keep the child safe.  

"Miss use rates of children's car seats are north of 90%, so almost everyone," shared Travis Holeha, Child Traffic Safety Coordinator from the Saskatchewan Prevention Institute out of Saskatoon.

"Even the best meaning, well-researched parents are usually doing at least one thing that could be corrected. Almost everyone can use a little bit of help and the reason for that is because every vehicle is different, each car seat is different and every child is different."

If you missed the clinic and are wanting to make sure your little one's car seat is secured properly you can check out SGI's website to see when the next clinic is or how you can make an appointment with a car seat technician.
