Every 33 seconds, one child under 13 is involved in a crash. That's a terrifying statistic and one that demands our immediate attention. To help combat this serious issue, we must work together to spread the word about child passenger safety and the life-saving importance of correct car seat selection, installation, and use. Is your child's car seat correctly installed? Don't think you know - know you know.
The Beaverton Police Department, in partnership with Safe Kids Coalition Washington County and
the Kuni Auto Center, will be offering a free child car seat clinic to spread the word. The clinic will be held on Saturday, January 20, 2018, at the Kuni Auto Center located at 3275 SW Cedar Hills Blvd. Beaverton OR, 97005. The clinic will run from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

A certified technician will help parents and caregivers learn to install and use their child safety restraints properly. No appointment is required -- just drop by during the event. Each car seat check will take about 30 minutes. Please note that the last car will be accepted no later than 11:30 a.m.
