POTTSVILLE, Pa. — A free car seat check up event will be held from 2 to 4 p.m., Friday, May 10 in the Geisinger Pottsville Clinic parking lot, located at 529 Terry Reiley Way.

To ensure proper installation, parents are encouraged to bring their vehicle’s owner’s manual and car seat manuals to the event.  

Event organizers will also offer a bounty for expired car seats for disposal. People can bring their unwanted, expired or unsafe car seats and receive a Walmart gift card reward.
