Car Seat Checks in Bluffton and Beaufort This Weekend
This weekend is a fantastic opportunity for parents in Bluffton and Beaufort to ensure their little ones are safe while traveling in the car. That’s right! Both towns are hosting free car seat checks that promise to be both informative and helpful in keeping our precious cargo safe on the roads.
Why Are Car Seat Checks Important?
As parents, we all want the best for our children, especially when it comes to their safety. Did you know that many car seats are not installed correctly? According to safety experts, improperly installed car seats can increase the risk of injury during an accident. This is where the upcoming car seat check events come in. They are a chance to have trained professionals verify that your car seat is both the right type and size for your child and that it’s installed as it should be.
Event Details
The car seat checks are happening on Saturday morning from 9 a.m. to noon.

What to Expect
When you arrive at either location, you’ll find friendly staff ready to help you navigate the sometimes confusing world of car seat safety. They will examine your car seat, check its expiration date (yes, car seats do expire!), and verify that it is appropriate for your child’s height and weight.
If it turns out that you need a new car seat, they can offer guidance on selecting one that will keep your little one snug and secure. Remember, there’s no such thing as too much caution when it comes to the safety of your child!
