The California Highway Patrol (CHP) will be conducting a car seat check-up event at their South Lake Tahoe office on Saturday, June 12 from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Call for an appointment at 530-577-1001 and walk-ups are welcome.
The current law states child passengers must ride in either a car seat or booster seat until the age of eight years old and the only exception to the law is if the child is 4 feet 9 inches in height.
Child safety seats installed and used correctly have been proven to save lives. The CHP urges parents and guardians to reduce the risk of death and injury to their children by allowing a certified car seat technician to properly secure their child in a safety seat. Child safety seats and safety belts, when installed and used properly, can prevent injuries and save lives.
