Clarksville, TN – For National Child Passenger Safety Week the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office provided booster seat inspections for parents and caregivers today from 2:00pm-3:30pm at Moore Magnet Elementary School. Deputies will “Encourage, Educate, and Enforce” vehicle passenger safety for children.
School Resource Officer Tim Adair, Sgt Jimmy Brown, and Sgt Sue Pender, provided hands-on advice and instruction on how to choose the right booster seat and use it correctly.
National Child Passenger Safety week is September 13th – 19th. It’s sponsored by the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Every year, thousands of children are tragically injured or killed in car crashes.
Vehicle accidents are a leading cause of death for children. Every 34 seconds, one child under age 13 is involved in a crash. Proper use of car seats, booster seats, and seat belts will help reduce the number of deaths and injuries occurring on America’s roads.
