Why Erin McCarty’s Telling Everyone About CARKEYS Child Seat Safety Checks

Thankfully, the Kohl’s and LSU Health Shreveport CARKEYS program have teamed up to increase awareness about car seat safety and to train Child Passenger Safety Technicians.

"The CPS technicians then educate the community through the CARKEYS free car seat checks and Kohl’s funded fitting stations located throughout Northwest Louisiana," according to the program website. "CPS technicians remove and inspect car seats and then show the family how to properly install the car seat, providing a new one when necessary."

How easy is that? You walk away knowing that you're using the appropriate equipment for your child/grandchild and that it's properly installed, both of which are important for drastically reducing the chances your child/grandchild would die or be seriously injured in a crash.
