“We often find car seats that are improperly installed by the parent,” said George Gordon, a spokesman for the Alpharetta Department of Public Safety.

A certified child safety seat inspector will look over the car seat and the installation of it. The certified inspector will also show how to correctly install the car seat and explain Georgia’s state laws to parents.
