Franciscan Health hosting free Michigan City car seat safety event

MICHIGAN CITY, Ind. -- Franciscan Health is hosting a free car seat safety event on Thursday, May

29.

The event -- cohosted by the Trauma Services Department and the Prenatal Assistance Program --

is scheduled to take place from 3-6 p.m. at Franciscan Health Michigan City, 3500 Franciscan Way.

A nationally certified child passenger safety technician will work with participants to teach them

how to properly install a car seat. The child who uses the car seat must be present at the

appointment in order for the technician to provide appropriate guidance.

A car seat safety check typically takes around 20 minutes per child to complete. Upon completion of the appointment, participants should be able to install a car seat safely.

The car seat safety check is free, but advanced reservations are required. Registration is available

online or by calling (219) 488-1380.
