What is "Buckle Up Baby?"

Participants attend a one hour meeting which provides education about the importance of using car seats correctly, and training on car seat installation.  Upon completion of the meeting, participants receive a free infant/child car seat.

Who is eligible?  Pregnant women who reside in Vernon County, Missouri, are eligible for the program.  There is no fee, and no income requirement.

How do I participate?  Call the Health Department for an appointment for one of the scheduled classes.  Remember, only pregnant women are eligible for the program, so that they will already have their car seat installed when they are ready to leave the hospital with their new baby.
