10/17/2007: "Booster Seats for Safety"

Perry Pugh of Eastsound Napa Auto Parts and the Orcas Island Fire Department have teamed up for Kid Safety. You can now get information on the new booster seat law plus even purchase a booster seat (at cost) at a new informational display in the Eastsound Napa Store.

Every child needs to be in a booster seat until the seat belt fits right. Car crashes kill more children between the ages of 4 and 8 than anything else. Seat belts save lives, but a seat belt that doesn’t fit properly will not protect your child in a crash. Typically, seat belts fit when a child is at least 4’9” tall and about 8 years old. Booster seats solve the problem!
