July 5, 2016AAA Northway Offers FREE Safety Services
AAA Northway offers FREE child passenger safety seat inspections as well as well as CarFit check-ups at your local AAA Travel Center on Union Street in Schenectady.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), four out of five car safety seats are improperly installed. Certified child passenger safety seat inspectors can provide guidance on proper child restraint use and installation.
CarFit’s goal is to help aging drivers improve the fit of their vehicle for their safety and comfort, promote conversations among older adults and families about driving safety, and link adults with relevant local resources that can help them drive safer longer. CarFit check-ups only take about 20 minutes. Trained technicians review several items including the following:
- Clear line of sight over the steering wheel
- Adequate distance from the front airbag
- Proper positioning of seat, usage of foot pedals, and all mirrors
- Proper safety belt use and fit
Call AAA Northway at 1-877-222-8283 to schedule your FREE car seat or CarFit inspection today! Visit https://www.northway.aaa.com/news/traffic-safety for more information.
