BUFFALO, N.Y. — If you've been waiting to get your child's car seat inspected, you'll have two opportunities this week to do so.
The Governor's Traffic Safety Committee (GTSC) will host two events this week on Wednesday, Dec. 1 and Saturday, Dec. 4. Be advised, the event on Saturday is by appointment only.
Certified child passenger safety technicians will be on hand to make sure that seats are installed correctly. The techs use the 'Learn, Practice, and Explain' model to educate parents and caregivers on how to choose and properly install the appropriate seat for the child's age and size and their vehicle.
Here is the information on the two events:
When: Wednesday, Dec. 1, from 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
Where: Orchard Park Central Fire Station, 30 School Street, Orchard Park

When: Saturday, Dec. 4, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Where: Catholic Health Regional Administrative Center, 144 Genesee Street, Buffalo
