Thanks for helping to spread the word Joel! Did you know that in King County car crashes continue to be the #1 cause of death for children under 18? Although many families understand the importance of using car seats, selecting the "best seat" for their children and ensuring proper installation can be a challenge. This event is a great opportunity to ensure children are traveling safely.
