Monroe, Ga. (Dec. 2, 2025) – Piedmont Walton Hospital will host a free car seat safety check on Friday, Dec. 5, from 10 a.m. to noon at the Monroe Walton Library, located at 217 West Spring St., Monroe, GA.
Certified technicians will be on-site to inspect car seats and ensure they are properly installed to keep children safe. Parents and caregivers are encouraged to bring their vehicles and car seats for a thorough check.
“Car seats save lives, but only when they’re used correctly,” said Lisa Thomas, injury prevention coordinator at Piedmont Walton Hospital. “Our goal is to give families peace of mind by making sure their children are as safe as possible on the road.”
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, three out of four car seats are installed incorrectly, which can increase the risk of injury in a crash. Proper installation significantly reduces the chance of serious harm to children in motor vehicle accidents.
