Parents and caregivers can learn more about how to keep their child safe when travelling in a vehicle at the BCAA Traffic Safety Foundation’s educational events in Nanaimo Feb. 16 and Feb. 22. The free car seat check takes place Feb. 16 at fire station No. 2, 2499 Dorman Rd., from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Certified child passenger safety educators will spend about 20 minutes one-on-one with parents showing them proper installation and use of car seats.
The parent workshop is Feb. 22, also at station No. 2, starting at 7 p.m. Expecting parents and parents of newborns will be instructed in the correct use and installation of infant and child car seats, child car seat laws and how to disassemble and reassemble car seats in the 30-minute workshop.
Workshop participation is by donation and pre-registration is required. Participants should bring their car seat, a doll or teddy bear to fit in the seat, two receiving blankets, the car seat instruction manual and the vehicle owner’s manual.
