Since supplies are limited, Safe Kids PBC Program Director Kathryn Wall encourages parents to arrive early if they want a car seat.

“Roadside injuries are the leading preventable cause of death and injury to children in the U.S.,” Wall said. “Properly installed child safety seats can reduce the risk of death by over 70% and we want to make sure that every child in Palm Beach County is safe when they’re traveling.” 

Funded by the Children’s Services Council of Palm Beach County, Safe Kids PBC is a community based program that offers safety education and materials to families to decrease preventable injuries in children from 0 to 19. In addition to hosting courses for residents to learn how to become a safety technician, Safe Kids PBC also hosts inspection events year round.
