(KEIZER, Ore.) - The Keizer Police Department, in partnership with the Keizer Fire District, will be hosting a free child safety seat clinic on Saturday, from 10:00 AM until 2:00 PM.

Safety seat clinics are designed to educate parents on the proper installation of safety seats and the children therein.

Specially trained safety seat technicians will be on hand to inspect and install safety seats and will have recall information available.

It is recommended that children who use the safety seats be present at the clinic so proper fit can be accomplished.

According to the Alliance for Community Traffic Safety (ACTS), approximately 1.5 million children are passengers in automobile crashes every year in the U.S.

In 2002, more than 400 U.S. children between the ages of 4 and 8 were killed and an additional 71,000 were injured in crashes. Of those injured, over 7,000 sustained incapacitating injuries.

A recent ACTS survey revealed that 97% of parents mistakenly believe they use child safety seats correctly.
