As families travel "over the river and through the woods" this Thanksgiving, many will be making the trip to Grandma's by car. Safe Kids is encouraging safety checks of child passenger safety seats before the holidays.

Car crashes are the number one killer of children ages 3 to 14 in the United States. Nearly 85 percent of child safety restraints are installed incorrectly in Sarpy and Cass Counties. Safe Kids is holding a Child Passenger Safety Seat check event to help save your children's lives.

The next monthly Safe Kids Child Passenger Safety Seat Check is:
