(5/11/12) – Safe Kids Pee Dee/Coastal, led by McLeod Health, will host the upcoming Kohl’s Child Safety Seat Check in Florence.

The Third Thursday with Kohl’s Child Safety Seat Check will take place Thursday, May 17, 2012, from 4:00 p.m. until 6:00 p.m. in the Florence Kohl’s parking lot (3041 W. Radio Drive, Florence). This child safety seat check is held the third Thursday of each month at this same time and location.

Safe Kids certified child safety seat technicians will check installation of child safety seats, correct those in need, and educate on proper installation and use. Participants should have both child safety seat and child present. Expecting parents, please bring seat.

Each child safety seat technician follows a child passenger safety checklist of child safety seat qualifications to ensure the safety of your child. The technician will determine if a new child safety seat is needed. If so, 1 per car is available while supplies last. Child safety seats are funded by Kohl’s Cares for Kids.

This even is open to all who are interested. In the case of rain, the event will be cancelled. For more information, please call Safe Kids Pee Dee/Coastal at (843) 777 – 5021.
