Child Seat Safety

Project Child Seat Safety 2012

This popular event returns to the Walmart Parking lot on the corner of Rogers Avenue and Massard Road in Fort Smith. The date is March 10, 2012 from 9AM until 1PM. Parents and grandparents are urged to stop by for a free safety inspection. Worn, outdated and recalled safety seats will be replaced free of charge. Certified Child Safety Seat Inspectors from the Fort Smith Police Department will be on hand to provide instruction and inspections. This is a simple way to assure your child's safety for the summer months ahead.

The “Golden Rule” is the foundation for a variety of community projects that McCutchen and Sexton embraces. Safety is the substance of each project that The Law Firm supports beginning with “Project Safety,” a consumer protection program that includes our child passenger seats safety initiative.

Proper safety measures include protecting children when riding in a motor vehicle. This starts with the proper safety seat. Each year, “Project Safety” includes a program where McCutchen and Sexton invite the public to inspection stations where unsafe recalled and outdated child safety seats are replaced free of charge. The next program is scheduled for April 9, 2011. Certified safety seat inspectors provide screening of safety seats and hands-on instruction to parents for proper installation.
