<p>The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that <strong>nearly 3 out of 4 car seats are not used correctly.</strong></p>
<p>Crashes are the leading cause of death for children ages 3 to 14.</p>
<p>In 2008, the National Survey of the Use of Booster Seats found that only 43 percent of children 4 to 7 were riding in booster seats. According to CHOP, <strong>kids ages 4 to 7 who use booster seats are 45 percent less likely to be injured in car crashes</strong> than children who are restrained only by seat belts.</p>
<p>Children should remain in booster seats until they are 4’9″. (Did you know that? I was amazed.)</p>
<p>This week, September 19th-25th, is Child Passenger Safety Week. <strong>Certified technicians are available to inspect and verify</strong> that your car seat is installed correctly and safely:</p>
<h3>New Castle County:</h3>
<p>DMV in New Castle (Rt 13) 9/21, 9/22 & 9/23<br />
Middletown PD 9/25<br />
Christiana Hospital ($15 installation fee)<br />
AI DuPont Hospital</p>
<h3>Kent County:</h3>
<p>DMV in Dover 9/20 & 9/24</p>
<h3>Sussex County:</h3>
<p>Sussex Pregnancy Care Center in Georgetown<br />
DMV in Georgetown 9/21 & 9/22<br />
Sussex County Coop- Ext. in Georgetown<br />
Delaware State Police in Lewes 9/23<br />
Carlisle RD in Milford 9/24</p>
<p>All inspections and installations are by appointment, <strong><a href="http://www.nhtsa.gov/cps/cpsfitting/index.cfm" target="_blank">click here for addresses and contact info.</a></strong> If no date is listed I <em>believe</em> the inspections are ongoing and not limited to Child Passenger Safety Week/ National Seat Check Saturday.</p>
<p>For more info, check out <strong><a href="http://www.nhtsa.gov/Safety/CPS" target="_blank">the NHTSA website</a></strong> (where you can register your car seat to receive recall notifications and see car seats rated for ease of use) or “like” <strong><a href="http://www.facebook.com/childpassengersafety" target="_blank">Child Passenger Safety</a></strong> on Facebook.</p>
<p>If you’re on the Twitter, the Child Passenger Safety Twitter account (<strong><a href="http://twitter.com/childseatsafety" target="_blank">@childseatsafety</a></strong>) will be hosting a Twitter party Wednesday, September 22nd at 2pm EST. NHTSA experts will be offering information on car seats and how to travel safely with children and answering any questions. Use hashtag #CPSweek.</p>
<p>Have you ever had your car seat inspected or installed by an expert? Do you know of any more places that do so?</p>

<p>I usually do not leave a leave a response, however I<br />
looked at a ton of comments here Car Seat Inspections | Family Fun Delaware.<br />
I actually do have 2 questions for you if it’s okay. Is it simply me or does it look like a few of these responses come across like they are coming from brain dead individuals? 😛 And, if you are writing at additional social sites, I’d<br />
like to keep up with you. Would you post a list of every one of your social pages like your<br />
linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?</p>
