Child booster car seat training slated in Derby

Sponsored by Safe Kids, Griffin Hospital, state

DERBY - Safe Kids Greater Naugatuck Valley, Griffin Hospital and the CT Department of Public Health are teaming to offer free training on child booster car seats and a booster seat giveaway from 5:30-7:30 p.m. April 11 in Griffin’s Dining Room, 130 Division St.

This two-hour training will help answer questions about kids in booster seats. At the end of this training, participants will receive a free high back booster seat and instruction on proper use.

To be eligible for the giveaway, participants must have a child that weighs between 40 to 80 pounds and is between 42 and 57 inches tall.
Also, the participant’s vehicle must have lap-shoulder seat belts in the back seat.

The free seats are limited, so the class will be filled on a first come, first served basis.
To register or for more information, call Cathi at 203-732-1337 no later than April 8. Please have the age, weight and height of your child.
Enrollment will be capped at 36 booster seats, but a wait list will be taken for families after that. Attendance at the entire two-hour class is mandatory to receive the booster seat.
Parking will be free and a light supper will be served.
