Motor vehicle crashes are the No. 1 killer of children in the United States. That’s why Willis Knighton Health wants to ensure children in our community are traveling securely every time they are in a car. As a Louisiana Passenger Safety Task Force fitting station, Willis Knighton will hold free child safety seat checks Saturday, March 22, from 10 a.m. to noon. at Willis Knighton Pierremont’s Medical Arts Building, 1811 E. Bert Kouns Industrial Loop.
Nationally certified technicians will check to see that the proper safety seat is being used for the child, the
child is placed into the safety seat properly, and the seat is correctly installed, said Stephanie R. Stratham, a child life specialist a Willis Knighton.
An estimated three out of four child safety seats in Louisiana are misused.
