MESSAGE FROM THE CITY OF BRIDGEPORT AND POLICE DEPARTMENT
Did you know that the City of Bridgeport has Certified Child Safety-Seat Technicians available?
Several officers of the Police Department have been trained and certified in all aspects of Child Safety Seats from Rear Facing Infant Carriers to Booster Seats. These individuals know that every vehicle and every child seat are different when installing them.
It is recommended that you check both the vehicle owner's manual and the safety seat instruction book when installing or call the Bridgeport Police Department at 304-842-8260 and an officer will make sure your child's seat is properly installed.
It is also recommended that all children 12 and under ride in the rear of the vehicle for maximum safety. Even though your child no longer needs a booster, they are still safest in the back seat.
Remember, keep you child in the safety seat they fit in as long as possible for maximum safety. Recommendations are to stay rear-facing until approximately two years of age.
Keeping your children safe is a priority of the Bridgeport Police Department.
