Oh gosh, this is a perfect one for me. I work in law enforcement and I am an advocate for child seat safety.
But alas, I have a Junior League meeting.
I RSVPed but I'm not sure if we have football practice that day or not.
I am hoping to be able to join in. But I don't know if my twitter problem will be resolved by then. None of my tweets as of Friday AM are showing in Twitter. I have no idea why. I hope it's fixed soon. It's driving me mad.
If you are in San Diego, here's a great car seat event! Forward to anyone who is a parent.
IT’S BACK TO SCHOOL – IS YOUR CAR SEAT SAFE FOR YOUR PRECIOUS CARGO?
--In Honor of National Child Passenger Safety Week,
Sitter Socials Hosts A Free Community Service Event to Ensure
Your Car Seats Are Safe For Your Precious Cargo--
WHAT:
National Child Passenger Safety Week is September 12 -18. Sitter Socials, the nationwide service connecting parents and babysitters, and Volvo, known for its unmatched safety and reliability, join forces to host a FREE, OPEN TO THE PUBLIC Car Seat Safety event for the whole family!
According to the US National Highway Transportation Safety Administration, the number one cause of death for children in the United States between one and 16 years old is auto accidents. This occurs primarily as a result of nonuse or improper use of child seats and seat belts. “It's easy to make mistakes when installing a car seat, let alone ensuring that it’s installed correctly. Both Sitter Socials and Volvo are concerned with kids and safety and thought this would be a useful and important event for families. This is a great way to give back to the community,” said Victoria Muschek, founder of Sitter Socials.
Whether you need an infant carrier, regular car seat or a booster, learn which one is appropriate for your child and how to use it correctly to keep your kids safe!
HOW:
Families come to the event with car seats in tow and have their car seats checked for safety. Experts will be on hand to answer any questions regarding car seats, like where your child should ride in the car, when you can move them to regular seat belt, and weight requirements.
WHEN:
Saturday, September 19, from 12 noon to 3 pm
WHERE:
Westfield Mission Valley The parking lot in front of Nordstrom Rack /Michael’s /Loehmann’s (see attached map)
MEDIA CONTACT :

THIS is GREAT so many parents don't know how important proper car seat installation and sizing is.. THANKS! I'm going to be sure to RT this!
A great thing! I cringe every time I see kids in back of pick up trucks (we are rural) and kids not in seat belts or car seats.
