Safety 1st is hosting a Community Fun Day and Tour to Promote Child Passenger Safety Kicks Off at their Manufacturing Headquarters in Columbus, IN on June 17th.
Did you know 73% of car seats are not used or installed correctly? Yet correctly used child safety seats can reduce the risk of injury or death by 71% (Safe Kids). Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for children (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration).

Be sure to stop in and check out the Safety 1st Grow and Go EX Air car seat that will be featured at the event too. It's probably one of the best car seat's I've ever laid eyes on. I sure wish when my two were born this was around. It not only has all the bells and whistles you'd want in a car set, it also grows with your child so you don't have to buy a new one each time they outgrow their old seat. Probably the feature I personally love the most because they seem to grow so fast that first year.
