The Georgia State Patrol will host a children's car safety seat check on May 16 at the Chattooga County Health Department.

The purpose of the event is to make sure the car seats are not expired and are in good working order; are right for the vehicle they are being used in; and are installed in the vehicle properly.

The event starts at 11 a.m. and will continue until around 1 p.m. or until people stop coming.

Georgia State Trooper Jamie Mitchell reminds us that car safety seats are good for only six years after the manufacturer's date.
