NHTSA’s (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) Child Passenger Safety Week is September 12-18, 2009, and this Saturday is “Seat Check Saturday”. Did you know that 3 out of 4 car seats are not installed as they should be, putting children at risk?! Fortunately, this Saturday is “Seat Check Saturday,” and NHTSA is asking all parents using a child safety seat to have their installation checked at one of the centers available across the country.

Update (Thursday, September 10th): Last night’s Twitter event for #ChildSeatSafety brought a ton of wonderful questions and concerning issues to light. However, search was down, which made it difficult for the information to reach everyone.

There will be another Q&A on Thursday, Sept. 17th from 8:00 to 9:00 p.m. ET. Officials from NHTSA will be on hand to answer any child passenger safety questions. Also, we want to see how much people have learned this week! We will be asking questions of the party-goers and ten correct answers will receive a prize.
