When the impact of the car pushed back the other car’s bench seat forward, the car seat stayed secure and intact. The car seat helped absorb crash force energy and spread it evenly around – thus protecting the toddler.
South Trail Fire Protection & Rescue Service District has three car seat technicians available to teach and educate on how to properly install a car seat. To set up an appointment, call Community Relations Coordinator Megan Contreras at 239-425-9316.
