The Child Passenger Safety Seat Program sponsored by the Yates County Sheriff’s Office, along with the Governor’s Traffic Safety Committee, will be conducting a Car Seat Check event on Saturday. According to the Sheriff’s Office, parents and caregivers can get their current car seats inspected, properly adjusted, or replaced by certified car seat technicians. No appointment is necessary.

Saturday’s event will run from 9:00 AM until 12:00 PM at the Penn Yan Volunteer Ambulance Corps, located at 205 North Avenue in the village.

The Sheriff’s Office says this will be its last scheduled check event of the year. If you are unable to attend on Saturday, you can still contact the Yates County Sheriff’s Office to schedule a date and time that works best for you.

Saturday’s event is being held in conjunction with National Child Passenger Safety Week.
