“Around 80% of car seats are not installed correctly,” stated Kim Connor, WHC Birthing Center. “Our purpose for these checks is not to criticize the parents or caregivers for installing them wrong. We want to make sure that the car seats are installed correctly so if they are in a crash, the children are safe and secure.”
