Get Help With Installing a Child Safety Seat

If you're about to be a first-time parent and the instructions for the new car seat you bought look harder than the picture-by-picture directions for IKEA furniture, have no fear, help is available.

On Wednesday, nationally certified child passenger safety seat technicians will be on hand at the Laurel Volunteer Fire Department (at 7411 Cherry Lane) to help you put that car seat in your car the right way.

They'll be available from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. and no appointment is needed.

However, if that time doesn't work in your busy schedule, can help you install the safety seat as well.

Lt. Andrew Powell said residents should call and make an appointment and an officer can help them install the seat. This service is available year-round.
