Memorial Day weekend kicks off the busy summer travel season, and millions of families travel by car to their vacations.

The Illinois Tollway is trying to help parents keep their kids safe, with free car seat safety inspections.

Certified child passenger safety technicians will conduct checks, provide information about recalls and help ensure proper safety seat installation.

“We are asking families to come out, parents, grandparents, caregivers, to get those safety seats checked because we know that they are best at keeping our youngest passengers safe during the travel season,” said Cassaundra Rouse, executive director of the Illinois Tollway.

The Illinois Tollway and Illinois State Police Troop 15 will host six free Kid Identification and Safety Seat events across the Chicago area now through September.
