FOREST PARK, Ohio - AAA says many child safety seats are installed incorrectly so the company is offering free car seat inspections Friday morning.
They are free for anyone who wants to get one. You need to run to AAA's Car Care Insurance and Travel center located at 12000 Chase Boulevard in Forest Park. It runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
AAA says its technicians find that most car seats are installed incorrectly, with common mistakes including harnesses that are too loose or placed in the wrong slot. The Forest Park Fire Department and Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center are assisting with the event which is part of the first anniversary celebration for the Forest Park office.
Free vehicle maintenance inspections will also be provided by the AAA/Bob Sumerel Tire & Service staff.
To make an appointment for a car seat or vehicle maintenance inspection, call (513) 361-7521 or click here .
