In the US, motor vehicle crashes are the number one cause of death of children over the age of six months. The correct use of child car seats is one of the simplest and most effective methods available for protecting the lives of children in the event of a motor vehicle crash. The goal of this event is to give those traveling with children confidence to make the right choices in child car seats.

"With the start of the busy holiday travel season, this is the perfect time to take advantage of this invaluable service. In the event of an accident, the proper usage of a restraint system can make all the difference for a child", says Shannon Cavanaugh, Community Relations Coordinator for Burlington Coat Factory.
