Here's Where You Can Get a Free Child Car Seat Safety Inspection

Installing car seats can be one of the most frustrating, confusing things for new parents. Is it in right? Will it keep my child safe? How can I tell? 

The New York State Department of Motor Vehicles, along with the Governor's Traffic Safety Committee, are taking the guesswork out of all of that with a series of public service announcements on techniques to keep kids safe in cars.

Watch the video on car seat safety above for tips, and check out the list below for a bunch of locations across New York offering free child car seat inspections by certified technicians. More info here (note: registration required for some).
