About this Event
Transurban, operator of the 95, 395, and 495 Express Lanes, is sponsoring free family entertainers and, in partnership with local first responder agencies, car seat safety checks at the Branches and Vines Farmers Market in Stafford County on October 19.
Correctly installed car seats can reduce the risk of fatal injury in a passenger car crash by 71% for infants and 54% for toddlers, but almost half of all car seats are installed incorrectly, according to NHTSA. As a part of its dedication to the safety of travelers in Virginia, Transurban is working with regional partners to offer families a fun and convenient option to have their car or booster seats evaluated by experts.
Certified child passenger safety technicians from first responder organizations will be conducting the checks. No appointments are necessary.
Families are encouraged to visit the farmers market and enjoy free children’s entertainment and services during the event.
