Several cars came thru last Saturday’s Car Seat Safety Day at the Taylorville Fire House.

The event was co-sponsored by the Taylorville Kiwanis Club, Taylorville Fire Department, Taylorville Police Department, Christian County YMCA, and the Illinois Department of Transporation.

Several families were instructed on the proper installation of car safety seats.   It’s estimated that nationwide, some 80% of child car seats are installed incorrectly by parents.

The Taylorville Kiwanis Club is part of a global organization of volunteers dedicated to improving the world one child and one community at a time.  Weekly meetings are held Tuesdays at noon at the Taylorville Moose Lodge.  For information on the club, go to taylorvillekiwanis.com.
