A reminder to mark your calendars if you're interested in getting your car seat checked by a professional! June 17th! Details below 👇

Is your child safe in their car seat? Find out! Washington County Public Health will be holding a Free Car Seat Check in partnership with Fort Ann Volunteer Fire Company, 11289 NY-149, Fort Ann NY 12827 on Wednesday, June 17th from 3-5pm.

Certified Car Seat Technicians will be on hand to check car seats for proper fit, use, possible recall and to help parents and caregivers on how to use the seat right. If a car seat is found to be unsafe, a limited number of car seats may be available for donation.

The car seat check is sponsored by New York State Governor's Traffic Safety Committee, Washington County Public Health, and the Cambridge Volunteer Fire Department.

Public Health also does checks by appointment at our office!
