The students

will be on the lookout for recalled child safety seats and those that

were possibly damaged in a motor vehicle crash.

Experts recommend

that child safety seats from a vehicle involved in an auto accident should

be thrown away and replaced.

Nationally,

four of five child safety seats are improperly installed, according to

instructor Robert Kurbes. Sometime, parents either have problems using

the manual for the car seat or they fail to use the manual, which can

cause improper installation of the seat, said instructor Sharon Conrad.

The class will

use hands-on exercises and classroom lectures to focus on current knowledge

on the use and misuse of child safety seats and safety belts by children.
