Are your kids buckled in the right way? Parents can stop by a car seat check-up event to learn about California child restraint laws, and check to see that their children's car and boosters seats are being used properly. The event is being put on by Butte County Public Health Department. This event will also provide parents with the opportunity to have safety seats checked for recalls. The campaign is funding by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National HighwayTraffic Safety Administration. TV-Turnoff Week April 23-29, 2007 (last year) Your home!
