Wake Forest Police & Target to offer free Car Seat Check & Installation Event Thursday

The Wake Forest Police Department (WFPD) and Target are partnering to make sure small children are safe in the car by offering a free Car Seat Check & Installation Event on Thursday, May 8, from 1-3 p.m. at the Wake Forest Target, 12000 Retail Dr.

Certified Car Seat Safety Technicians will be on hand to answer questions and assist parents and caregivers with the proper installation of their child’s car seat. Technicians will also let you know if your children are in the right seats for their ages and sizes and explain the importance of registering car seats with the manufacturer, so you can be notified if there is a recall.

No appointment is necessary. For more information, email Lt. Andrew Chilton at achilton@wakeforestnc.gov.

Anyone who is unable to attend the May 8 event but would like assistance installing their child’s safety seat can set up an appointment by calling the WFPD at 919-554-6150.
