Denison reminds residents to check car seat installations during Child Passenger Safety Week

The City of Denison has issued a reminder for residents to review their child passenger safety practices during Child Passenger Safety Week. The announcement highlights the importance of ensuring that car seats are installed correctly and are appropriate for the specific age, height, and weight of the child.

Officials note that using the right car seat and ensuring it is properly installed can significantly reduce the risk of injury in a crash.

Residents are advised to take a few minutes to check their child's seat, review the manufacturer's instructions, and make any necessary adjustments. The city emphasizes that every trip matters and encourages drivers to buckle up and help keep their youngest passengers safe.

For additional information, the city directs residents to the Texas Department of Transportation website. The site provides child passenger safety tips, car seat recommendations, and information about inspection events. Residents can access these resources at https://www.txdot.gov/safety/traffic-safety-campaigns/child-passenger-safety.html.

The announcement serves as a general public safety reminder rather than a report on a specific incident or new ordinance. It focuses on voluntary actions drivers can take to improve safety for children in vehicles. By following manufacturer guidelines and verifying installation, parents and caregivers can help ensure their children are protected during travel.
