It’s so important to make sure your little one is restrained properly.
Here is a Press Release from the Bowie County Extension Office:
If your child is under 8 years old, the law says they MUST use a car seat or booster seat!
Texas A&M AgriLife Extension – Bowie County is partnering with TxDOT to provide a limited number of car seats, professional installation, and education course to our families on August 19th , 10A – 12P. AT NO COST!
We will be hosting a “Back to School Booster Seat Bash” at Crestview Elementary School (parking lot) on Saturday August 19th , 2023. The address is 604 N. McCoy Blvd. New Boston, Tx 75570.
o School-age children are safest riding in a forward-facing seat or booster seat until the vehicle’s seat belt fits them properly, usually when they are taller than 4 feet, 9 inches and between 8 and 12 years old.
o TxDOT has more information on its website, to help parents learn about the different types of car seats and whether their child may need a rear-facing car seat, a forward-facing car seat or a booster seat.
