Palos Park, IL – Families across Palos Park and the southwest suburbs of Chicago can take advantage of a free child car seat safety inspection event this Sunday afternoon.
According to the Palos Park Police Department, the event will take place on May 31, 2026, Sunday, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at the Palos Islamic Center, located at 12300 S. 80th Avenue in Palos Park, Cook County. The event is open to the public and aims to help parents and caregivers ensure child safety seats are installed correctly.
Police say certified technicians will be on-site to inspect car seats, provide hands-on guidance, and answer questions about proper installation and usage. Improperly installed car seats remain a common safety concern, with officials noting that many are used incorrectly, increasing the risk of injury in a crash.
The event is designed to serve residents throughout the Palos Park area, including nearby communities in the Chicago metropolitan region. No appointment is required, and attendees will receive individualized assistance during the inspection process.
Organizers encourage families to bring both the child and the vehicle used for transport to allow for the most accurate assessment. The goal is to ensure each car seat is properly fitted to both the child and the vehicle.
For additional information, residents can contact event organizers via email at rduffy@palospark.org.
