Cops offer car seat tips

It's sort of like car seats for dummies. But it beats being a crash test dummy.

And, as any parent can tell you, it's a lot harder than it looks.

The Colorado Springs Police Department is offering a free child safety seat inspection clinic today from 10 a.m.- 2 p.m. in the parking lot of Wal-Mart, 707 S. 8th St.

Certified car seat technicians with the police department will check that children are being properly secured in child safety seats and instruct the adult how to do it correctly. Bring your child, car and safety seat
