"Historically, both BCAA and ICBC have put considerable resources into improving child safety in vehicles. By combining our efforts, the results will be a stronger, more coordinated approach," says Darlene Hyde, ICBC's Senior Vice President, Corporate and Government Affairs. "Through child seat information, education, inspections and clinics, we are confident we can increase awareness of the importance of proper child passenger safety."
BCAA's trained and certified technicians will conduct the child seat inspections free of charge. Each inspection takes approximately 15 minutes. A province-wide toll-free number has been established to answer questions about infant and child seats and to provide information on upcoming child seat inspection clinics in BC. The number is 1-877-247-5551.
