Volunteer Pam is seated with the “kids” (training dolls) and ready to share safe car seat practices with 35 kids and parents at an elementary school ECEAP health night in Forks. We talked about staying in the safest system possible until it was time to move up. We measured everybody’s height and had several kids who were not using boosters who should have been. We all chuckled together at the mother who was 4’8″ and was the driver of the car! We practiced getting the buckles correct on the dolls. I ended up with two appointments for booster seat distribution, and one pregnant mama going to get a seat for the little one on the way. A great use of basic demonstration materials!
