Prescott Valley Police Department Hosting Multiple Car Seat Safety Checks Over The Next Few Weeks

The Prescott Valley Police Department will be hosting multiple car seat safety check opportunities over the next few weeks. Properly buckling in and using the appropriate-sized car seat can significantly reduce the risk of serious or fatal injuries. Car seats reduce the risk of injury by 71 to 82-percent for children, booster seats reduce the risk by 45-percent for children ages 4-8, and seat belts reduce the risk by 50-percent for older children and adults. The car seat checks will be in the parking lot in front of Papa Murphy’s on Glassford Hill Road in Prescott Valley from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The car seat safety checks will be held on July 23rd, August 2nd, August 20th, September 3rd, and September 17th.
