DECATUR-- September is designated as National Preparedness month and it focuses on everything from environmental awareness to personal health awareness, but one thing that people often don’t think about is passenger awareness when operating a vehicle. Michelle Boatmen with Macon County Safe Kids works on educating parents and child care providers on child safety seat instillation. Boatman says with so many types of seats, and cars, it is often difficult to identify a correctly installed seat…
Boatman also says that car seats have a life span of about 6 years, so keeping them through multiple kids, and vehicles, isn’t the safest idea. A recent study taken revealed that 4 out of 5 car seats are used incorrectly.
