South Jersey families can take advantage of free, car seat safety checks as a result of a new partnership between Cooper Children’s Regional Hospital and Weisman Children’s Rehabilitation Hospital. The program will be administered through Cooper’s Safe Kids Southern New Jersey program.
Twice a month, the Safe Kids program will hold free, car seat safety checks by appointment at Weisman’s Marlton location, according to Maureen Donnelly, RN, MSN, NPC, Coordinator of Safe Kids Southern NJ, Cooper Children’s Regional Hospital.
“Our free, Child Passenger Safety Inspections are a great way that parents and caregivers can ensure that they are using the appropriate child safety seat or safety belt correctly,” Donnelly said. “These will be especially useful for families who use Weisman’s services and have special-needs car seats.”
The Safe Kids Southern New Jersey program at Cooper is one of more than 450 state and local coalitions who are part of Safe Kids Worldwide, a global network of organizations whose mission is to prevent accidental childhood injury.
Car seat safety checks will be held at:
Weisman Children’s Rehabilitation Hospital, 92 Brick Road, Marlton — April 1, May 6, June 3, July 1, Aug. 5, Sept. 2, Oct. 7, Nov. 4 and Dec. 2.
Appointments will run between 1–3 p.m. at both locations. To schedule an appointment please call at (856) 489–4520 Ext: 251.
