The Ranger Department has a certified technician who can discuss and demonstrate proper harnessing and installation techniques for both rear facing and forward facing child safety seats, and make sure you know how to install the child safety seat in your vehicle. Emphasis is also placed on booster seats for those children who are too big for a harnessed child safety seat, but too small to fit in a vehicle seat belt.
The FREE inspections are conducted by appointment only and can be scheduled with Ranger Brandy Hanusosky by email or by calling 440-358-7290.
