Safe Kids Greater Naugatuck Valley, Griffin Hospital and the Connecticut Department of Public Health are teaming up to offer a free training on child booster car seats and a booster seat giveaway on Thursday, April 11 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Griffin’s Dining Room, 130 Division St. in Derby.
This two-hour training will help answer questions about kids in booster seats. At the end of this training, participants will receive a free highback booster seat and instruction on proper use.
To be eligible for the giveaway, participants must have a child that weighs between 40 to 80 pounds and is between 42 and 57 inches tall. Also, the participant’s vehicle must have lap-shoulder seat belts in the back seat.
The free seats are limited, so the class will be filled on a first come, first served basis. To register or for more information, call Cathi at 203.732.1337 no later than April 8.
Please have the age, weight and height of your child. Enrollment will be capped at 36 booster seats, but a wait list will be taken for families after that. Attendance at the entire two-hour class is mandatory to receive the booster seat. Parking will be free and a light supper will be served.
