CHP’s child car safety and clothing-food drive in South Tahoe
The California Highway Patrol South Lake Tahoe area will conduct a Child Safety Seat Check-Up event Dec. 17 from 11am-3pm.
Certified car seat technicians from the CHP will be available to show parents how to properly and securely install a child safety seat in their vehicle.
National studies show three out of four car seats are not being used correctly, making children at risk of serious injury or death.
A California law that takes effect Jan. 1, extends the length of time a child must use a child passenger restraint or safety seat by two years while riding in a motor vehicle. The new law means child passengers must ride in either a car seat or booster seat until the age of 8 or until they are 4 feet 9 inches tall.
The CHP will also be collecting toys, non-perishable foods and new or lightly used jackets as a part of their annual CHiPs For Kids Holiday Drive. tems donated will be kept locally and given to Christmas Cheer for distribution.
The event is at the Y in South Lake Tahoe in the Raley’s/Kmart center.
How did the boomers ever manage to grow up without car seats?
Could it be the Cars, Trucks, were made out high grade American steel,made in the U.S.A?
I needed a blow torch to cut a old car in two, now days all it takes is a cheap chain saw from Sears cuts like butter.
plastic crap with nice lines and a computer all they are now days.
Hang in there Kids ,if a car wreck doesn’t get you First the Fast food will!
