Click It or Ticket Child Passenger Safety Seat Giveaway Event


Lake Charles- OnSaturday, May 21, 2022, in conjunction with the upcoming nationwide Click It or Ticket initiative, Louisiana State Police Troop D and the Louisiana Passenger Safety Task Force will provide free child passenger safety seat checks in Lake Charles. The event will take place at Southwest Beverage located at 3860 Broad Street in Lake Charles from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Child safety seat inspections will be conducted by nationally certified child passenger safety seat technicians who will assist with proper installation.

Additionally, a limited number of free child passenger safety seats have been provided by the Lake Charles Junior League for caregivers in need. There is a limit of one free seat per vehicle.

Child safety seats and booster seats, when used properly, save lives. They offer the best protection for children in the event of a crash. During the past 30 years, nearly 9,000 lives have been saved by the use of child restraints according to the U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). It is important caregivers ensure children are properly restrained in an appropriate child safety seat, booster seat, or seat belt - every trip, every time.

This event is made possible by the Lake Charles Junior League. Additional support has been provided by Southwest Beverage and the Louisiana Highway Safety Commission.
