Booster and Child Car Seats
Car crashes are the number one cause of death for Canadian children. That is why choosing the right car seat for your child is so important.
When travelling with young children, a safe and healthy road trip means correctly using the right car seat.
In reality, most car seats are not used correctly.
Car seats and booster seats save lives. Protect your child by making sure your car seat is properly installed.
Car Seat Clinics
Parents and caregivers are encouraged to consult their vehicle owner's manual and child car seat instruction manual when installing the child passenger seats.
If you find you are having difficulty or you have concerns with the proper installation of your child car seat, you may contact your local Porcupine Health Unit office for clinic information.
See the Porcupine Health Unit's Clinics & Classes section of the website for times and locations in Timmins and Cochrane.
