Mother's Day Weekend Car Seat Check in Bowie

The event will take place from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday at the Prince George's Community Credit Union in Bowie.

The Prince George's County Police Department (PGPD) is hosting its second car seat check in Bowie this week, after technicians found 100 percent of seats installed incorrectly during a check in Oxon Hill in April.

The Mother's Day weekend check will be held on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Prince George's Community Credit Union (PGCCU) at 15201 Hall Rd. in Bowie. A similar check was held on Wednesday at the Ourisman car dealership in Bowie. 

The event is free and open to the public. Seats should be installed prior to arrival. Certified car seat installation technicians will be on hand to check the seats.
