When it comes to child safety, it is better to be safe than sorry. Child Passenger Safety Awareness Week highlights the importance of ensuring that all children are properly secured in an appropriate car seat or seat belt. A child’s age, weight, and height can all play a factor when determining proper safety harnesses, so it’s important to keep up-to-date with all current regulations and suggestions. September 18-25 is dedicated to all things related to child passenger safety.
The Hawai’i Police Department recognizes the importance of strict enforcement of our child safety seat and seat belt laws in preventing serious injuries and fatalities during crashes. We also know that working with the community, helping to educate people and answer questions about the laws is extremely important. If people have good information they have a better chance of doing the right thing. With that in mind we will be participating this Saturday, September 24th, in Kona, at the Target Parking lot for a Child Safety Seat Inspection event from 9:00 a.m. -1:00 p.m.. Technicians will be available to help inspect car seats and show how to properly install them.
Please stop by and meet with our group on Saturday so we can help you keep your keiki safe.
