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.

Tenn. mom invites son's organ recipients to do his favorite activity, dance

Here’s a beautiful story of how one mother turned her grief journey into a gathering of gratitude… and organ donation awareness.

Robb Coles highlights a special event organized by Cari Hollis – whose 26-year old son Austin died two years ago. Austin agreed to be an organ donor – and that single gesture saved multiple lives.

Cari reached out to as many recipients she could find – several of whom traveled to Nashville for an emotional celebration in Austin’s honor. One woman – whose life was saved by receiving Austin’s lungs – put it simply: “He’s my angel”.
