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.

June Huston, Sartell Crime Prevention Coordinator, is a certified car seat technician.  Huston completed a four-day training program in Hibbing through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.  Huston learned proper installation for many different types of car seats during the 32-hour car seat training.  She received a Standardized Child Passenger Safety Program Certification.

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.
