PUEBLO — Drive Smart Pueblo, in collaboration with the Pueblo Police Department, Pueblo Fire Department, and Colorado State Patrol, will offer free car seat safety checks on Saturday, March 1.
The checks will begin at 9:00 a.m. through 1:00 p.m. at Pueblo Fire Station #4, located at 2201 Lake Avenue.
According to Drive Smart Pueblo, certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians will check car seats, let caregivers know if the seats are the right size for the children's ages, and show them how to install the seats correctly.
Drive Smart Pueblo wants to remind caregivers that there is a correct car seat for every age and developmental stage in children.
Ensuring that a car seat is the proper size and installed properly can "put parents' minds at ease."
Anyone who cannot attend Saturday's event can contact the Pueblo Police Department at (719)553-2502 or the Colorado State Patrol at (719)288-2636 to schedule an appointment at a Fit Station to have their car seats checked.
Powerful spring storm will rock Southern Colorado today and Tuesday
After a gorgeous weekend, we're looking at a very busy start to the week for Southern Colorado. A powerful spring storm will produce widespread 30-50 mph gusts on Monday. These dry, downslope winds will increase fire danger on Monday along and east of the I-25 corridor. Red Flag Warnings will be in effect from 11 am until 7 pm.
