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.

Small gestures can have such a big impact. This story is proof. Sports Anchor Steve Layman shows how Vanderbilt Head Baseball Coach Tim Corbin, and his entire team, provided a much needed distraction for a young man and his family — facing an unthinkable tragedy. Yes, it’s just baseball. But on this day, it was so much more for everyone involved. Kudos to the Commodores!
