CBS "Rear-facing only car seats puts the crash forces around the shell of the car seat and distributes them over the entire body instead of in one spot," Kent Trimbach with Colorado State Patrol said.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Eligible parents in Kent County can receive a free Pack n' Play and car seat through Family Futures. It's part of an initiative during National Baby Safety Month.

After attending an online class, the free car seat can be picked up on September 25 from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. at the Driscoll Children’s Business Health Center.

If you’re unsure about your child’s seat, you can schedule a free appointment or attend one of the upcoming car-seat events—several fitting stations are held across the Chattanooga area monthly.
