We at Chickasaw County Public Health offer free CAR SEAT SAFETY CHECKS and encourage parents to call our office to schedule a time for a free check at (641) 394-4053 or Toll Free at 1-800-579-5815.
Chickasaw County Public Health has Two CHILD PASSENGER SAFETY TECHNICIANS to provide the car seat safety checks.
Did you realize there are thousands of combinations with different kinds of seat belts along with different kinds of car seats on installing a car seat? How many people actually read the owners manual on a car or car safety seat to make sure it is installed properly? We at CHICKASAW COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH are trained to know how to properly install the car seats and take the guess work out of trying to install them properly and will provide teaching to the parents/caregivers on safety and proper installation of the car seat.
We realize how important and precious children are and that is why we took the interest in obtaining the Child Passenger Safety Technician coarse to ensure children in our community are safe!!
