INDIANAPOLIS — Franciscan St. Francis Health is encouraging parents and caregivers to have children’s safety seats inspected based on recommendations issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The hospital’s Child Passenger Safety Clinic is offering free inspections with certified technicians available to advise on the proper use of seats for youngsters. The event is 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. in the parking lot of Franciscan St. Francis Weight Loss Center (5230-A E. Stop 11 Road).
If you’re unable to visit the inspection sites, adults can arrange for free inspections any time of the year by calling the hospital at 317-528-5774 or ASP toll-free at 800-KID-N-CAR.
Language interpreters will be on hand to assist Hispanic and Burmese and Chin parents, as well as adult caregivers. Children’s car seats will be provided for families who can prove they are receiving public assistance and the child must be present.
