(12/09/11) – Safe Kids Pee Dee/Coastal, led by McLeod Health, will host two upcoming Kohl’s Child Safety Seat Checks in Florence and Myrtle Beach.

The Third Thursday with Kohl’s Child Safety Seat Check will take place Thursday, December 15, 2011, 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.

The quarterly Kohl’s Cares® Safe Seats at the Beach event will be held on Tuesday, December 20, 2011, from 3:00 p.m. until 6:00 p.m. in the Myrtle Beach Kohl’s parking lot (8646 Highway 17 Bypass South, Myrtle Beach).

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.

These events are 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.
