Oviedo Police officers will be on-site for a free car seat check for any resident who wants to ensure their car seats are installed properly or needs help installing them.

Nationally, four out of five car seats are used incorrectly or improperly installed. According to HealthyChildren.org, not all car safety seats are the same. The type of seat your child needs depends on several factors such as age, size and developmental needs.

Officers will be working alongside Nationally Certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians to assist with the proper installation of car seats. Anyone with kids who needs a car seat is encouraged to come to the Oviedo Police Department between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. for a check! Officers and Safety Technicians will also install safety seats that are brought. No seats will be provided at this event.
