Child Car Seat Safety Inspection — June 20

Kent State University’s Employee Wellness Office is pleased to co-host its spring car seat safety inspection on Tuesday, June 20, from 3-6 p.m. at Kent State’s Child Development Center parking lot located at 775 Loop Rd. in Kent.

Statistics show that four out of five car seats are installed incorrectly. Keep your child safe by making sure your child's car seat is properly installed. If you have more than one car seat or base, feel free to have them each inspected. You do not have to have your child with you for the inspection, but they are certainly welcome to attend. If you have your vehicle's owner manual and car seat manual available, please bring them with you. This event is open to all Kent State employees, students and community members. To ensure your reservation, we strongly encourage you to schedule your appointment today.

Certified child passenger safety technicians from the Portage County Health Department will conduct the child car seat inspections. Kent State Police Department representatives also will be on hand to answer any safety-related questions you may have. Additionally, there will be a small health fair with representatives from local health and wellness service providers.

We encourage you to reserve your appointment today! Individuals without an appointment will be accommodated as time permits on a first-come, first-served basis.

If you have questions, contact Kim Hauge, director for Employee Wellness, at 330-672-7505 or wellness@kent.edu.
