Child Passenger Safety Week: Washington Traffic Safety Commission & Washington Department of Health Spotlight Local Child Passenger Safety Events
September 20, 2018
In Washington State, 67 child vehicle occupants 12 and younger died in traffic crashes from 2010-2017
The Washington Traffic Safety Commission (WTSC) and Washington State Department of Health (DOH) are teaming up this September to help make sure all parents and caregivers are correctly using the right car seats (rear-facing, forward-facing or booster seats) or seat belts for their child’s age and size.
WTSC and DOH support the Certified Child Passenger Safety Technician (CPST) network in Washington. During Child Passenger Safety Week, September 23-29, many communities will have these technicians available to educate consumers about choosing the right car seat, installing that seat correctly in their vehicle, and using that seat on every trip.
