The City of Kinston’s Fire & Rescue Department is participating in Child Passenger Safety Week to educate and encourage the community on keeping their children safe while in the car. Monday, the department held a Seat Check Event from 1:30 – 4:30 PM at Kinston Fire Station 1 across from Historic Grainger Stadium. Child Passenger Safety Week runs from September 18th – 24th and events like these are being held across the country, encouraging parents and caregivers to make sure their car seats and booster seats fit their children properly and that the seats are correctly installed in vehicles. Certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians will be available to assist the City of Kinston and surrounding Lenoir County families prior to and after safety week by appointment to assist with car seats and other information.
