Did You Know? Most police departments will help you with your child safey seats

HOLMDEL, N.J. — The Holmdel Township Police Department is reminding parents and caregivers to ensure their children are in the correct car seat for their age group as part of Child Passenger Safety Awareness Week. The initiative encourages families to double-check that their car seats are installed properly and that children are secured in the safest seat based on their age and size.

Car seats come in different styles, including rear-facing, forward-facing, and booster seats. Parents are urged to read the seat’s instructions carefully to confirm proper installation. Children under 13 should always be buckled in the back seat.

Holmdel police and other departments across New Jersey have trained officers available to assist in checking car seat installations. Those in need of assistance can call to schedule an appointment with a Traffic Safety Officer.
