TOLONO, Ill. (WCIA) — The Tolono Fire Protection District is offering an opportunity for people to have their children’s car seats installed with the help of certified experts.

Champaign, Urbana schools to participate in Bike and Roll to School Day

The Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police said 74% of car seats and booster seats are used incorrectly. So the organization is teaming up with the Tolono FPD to host the event on Wednesday at Station 1, located at 214 North Bourne Street. From 4 to 6 p.m., people can have their children’s car seats checked for proper use and installation.

People are asked to bring the children who will be riding in the car seat, along with the vehicle owner’s manual and the car seat instruction manual, if possible. They should allow for 30 minutes per car seat.
