RE: Upcoming Car Seat Clinic in Redwood Falls
DATE: April 7, 2008


A car seat clinic will be held in Redwood Falls on April 24, 2008 at the Scott-Preusse Service Garage from 4:00-8:00pm. The Redwood Area Hospital along with Redwood County Public Health will have certified car seat technicians, senior technicians and a Child Passenger Safety instructor on-site to check to see if your car seats are secured properly in your vehicle.

Installations will be done by appointment only. At your appointment, the technicians will make sure you have the correct car seat for your child and that it is properly installed in the vehicle. During this time, they will also be instructing parents on how to replicate the installation at home. This service is free.

The car seat technicians will need ½ hour per car per seat and possibly longer if there are any compatibility issues. Senior Technician Shelly Pauling states, “Our goal is that kids will leave this clinic safer than when they arrived. It is very seldom that we get someone that comes in that has their child seat installed correctly. There are so many compatibility issues with the different types of car seats and vehicles available. We make sure that each child is in the right car seat and if they aren’t we have car seats on hand so the children leave safe.”

The upcoming Child Restraint Clinic is sponsored by the Minnesota SAFE KIDS Coalition, Scott Preusse, Inc. of Redwood Falls, Redwood Area Hospital and Redwood County Public Health.

If you have any questions about the upcoming Car Seat Clinic or if you would like to sign up for this clinic, please call Shelly Pauling, Education & Communications Manager at the Redwood Area Hospital at 507-637-4527. Click here to register on-line.
