The Lacey Township police department will host a courtesy child seat safety check at the Lanoka Harbor firehouse on Route 9 and Warren Avenue in Lanoka Harbor, on Wednesday, February 15, 2017

The event will be held rain or shine from 4 p.m. until 7 p.m. Certified child seat technicians from the Lacey Township police department and the Ocean County Sheriff’s Department will be on site to conduct a courtesy child seat inspection of installed seats and to assist participants in the proper installation of child seats.

Lacey police officers are dedicated to child safety. Over eighty percent of child safety seats currently installed in vehicles are either the wrong seats for the child being transported or are incorrectly installed. Technicians, will assist not only in the inspection of the seats, but will also educate caregivers on the proper seat selection and installation.

Inspections are expected to take approximately 20 minutes per vehicle.
