Miami Township Fire and Rescue will offer free car seat safety inspections on Thursday, October 1st and Thursday, October 15th from 5 pm to 7 pm. Inspections will take place at Fire Station 81 located on Corry Street in Yellow Springs. To have an inspection, bring your car, the car seat, and your child or grandchild; an inspection takes approximately 30 minutes. MTFR’s Nationally Certified child passenger safety technician will check your installation and answer questions. For more information, please contact Fire Inspector Chris Kitts at 767-7842.
A new state law that goes into effect on Wednesday, Oct. 7, will require children ages 4 through 7 to ride in a booster seat or other appropriate child safety seat unless the child is 4 feet, 9 inches or taller. Current law requires only that children younger than 4 years old or less than 40 pounds ride in a car seat.

Let's hope Florida soon follows... I recently heard that Florida is one of only 3 states without this law!
