AVONDALE: Police are doing car seat safety checks

A "Unionville in the News" reader writes:
"Earlier this week my husband and I were at the Avondale State Police barracks to have our grandson's car seat installation inspected (upon the wishes of our daughter-in-law). 
Trooper Minnucci gave us the all okay after a good tutorial, checklist and inspection! The whole process took about 15 minutes and we were glad to know the car seat is secure for our grandchild. What a great idea for young families and extended families - and a challenge to something overlooked by many.
She mentioned there is going to be Troopers at a FREE Car Seat Inspection at the Avondale Fire Company, September 18th from 2:00 - 8:00pm. The only pre-requisite is to phone Trooper Minnucci at 610-268-2102 to secure a time without wait.
This is an ongoing service offered at the Avondale State Police barracks by appointment.  The troopers attend classes to be certified in car seat safety."
If you don't read this in time to make the inspection at the Avondale Fire Company, do call the state police and get your car seat checked. Car seats are new to many grandparents because when I was growing up, our only car safety measure was Mom shooting a protective hand across the front seat when she had to stop suddenly.
