Safe Kids Washtenaw County, Mott Hospital to host three free car seat inspections this fall

ANN ARBOR, MI – About 90 percent of car seats are installed incorrectly. That’s why Safe Kids Washtenaw Country and the University of Michigan C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital’s Buckle Up! program plan to host three car seat safety check-up events this fall.

The free car seat safety inspections will be held:

Saturday, Sept. 22, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Prestige Pontiac, 444 James L. Hart Parkway in Ypsilanti
Saturday, Sept. 29, 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. at Harwood Automotive, 6095 N. Monroe Street in Monroe
Saturday, Oct., 20, 10 a.m. – 2 p.m., at Crispin Chevrolet , 7112 E. Michigan Ave. in Saline
These events are designed to increase awareness and proper use of car seats. When used correctly, car seats are one of the most important child safety tools.

No registration is necessary to participate, but parents are asked to bring the following to the event:


Your child
Your vehicle with instruction manual
Your child’s car seat or booster seat
Car seat instructions
