FRANKLIN, Tenn. (WTVF) — If you've ever worried about whether or not you are installing your car seat correctly, the Franklin Police Department is hosting an event that can help.

On Wednesday, May 1, they will be at High Hopes Development Center. Police officers and firefighters will be there to help install car sears and make sure the ones you have already installed are safe and set up correctly.

The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration says that 46% of car sears and boosters are used incorrectly, and fixing this can reduce risk of injury by 71 to 82% for children.

Recently while home sick, I got to watch the news just like you — a viewer! And I have to brag on my co-workers. Not only are they great people and journalists, but they are also tremendous advocates. Look no further than the recent reporting by Amanda Roberts and Jennifer Kraus. This kind of reporting takes dogged commitment. To us, it's always more than a story; this is our home too.
