This initiative is part of a year-round safety program in which state and local law enforcement agencies, along with various community safety partners, provide free car seat inspections. Using the "Learn, Practice, and Explain" model, trained technicians educate parents and caregivers on selecting the appropriate car seat for their child's age and size, as well as their vehicle. They also offer guidance on proper installation, ensuring the car seat is used correctly on every trip.
