If you want to make sure your car or booster seat is set up properly for your child, Burnaby RCMP is hosting a free clinic this month.
The clinic is scheduled for Sunday, Aug. 25, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Bonsor Recreation Complex (6550 Bonsor Rd.) in the south parking lot.
Certified Child Passenger Safety Educators, including Burnaby Mounties and BCAA staff, will be available to work one-on-one with the public to inspect the current setup of their car or booster seat and help with any adjustments and education.
"For a child’s car seat or booster seat to be effective it must be installed and used correctly, but parents and caregivers often remark that they can be complicated and intimidating to set up and adjust," a news release said.
"The goal of the appointment is to ensure sure car and booster seats are properly installed and adjusted for maximum safety, while also educating attendees so they are comfortable making their own adjustments in the future and as their child grows."
Attendees are encouraged to pre-book appointments by emailing [email protected]. Some walk-in appointments will be available.
Burnaby RCMP says sessions will be roughly one hour long.
Attendees are asked to bring the car and booster seat along with the manual. If possible, the child using the seat should also be at the appointment.
