DID YOU KNOW that more children are killed and injured in car crashes yearly than from any other type of injury?  Using a car seat correctly can prevent many of these injuries.  However, if car seats are not used correctly, serious injuries can occur.

Child passenger safety clinics are held monthly at Gold Cross, 2800 7th St N, St. Cloud.  To schedule an appointment, call 251-2700, Ext 54492.  Leave a message with your name, phone number and number of seats to check.

Parents are asked to bring their child(ren), car seats and cars to ensure proper restraint fitting.

We are also available to check car seats on an individual basis at the Sartell Police Department.  Call 251-8186 to schedule an appointment.

Local car seat clinics are sponsored by Gold Cross Ambulance, St. Cloud Hospital and Centra Care - Women and Children's Clinic.
