SOUTHERN TIER, N.Y. (WENY) -- Free child car seat inspections are coming to Schuyler, Steuben and Tompkins Counties throughout the month of August. As it stands, it's currently estimated that just over half of all children's car seats are not put in right.

Car seats are only at their safest when they are installed correctly. Trained technicians will be on hand to both make sure seats are in correctly, and educate parents and caregivers on how to put them in themselves. 

Here is a list of when and where the inspections are taking place.
