With freezing temperatures hitting the Thumb region, the St. Clair County Sheriff’s Office is urging parents to follow winter car seat safety tips. Bulky winter coats can prevent car seat straps from tightening correctly, putting children at serious risk in an accident. Instead, parents are advised to dress kids in layers with a snug fleece jacket, then add a blanket or coat over the straps for warmth. For car seat safety assistance, contact St. Clair County’s program at (810) 966-3706.
