Ten members of the Walton County Sheriff’s Office successfully completed training to become certified child passenger safety technicians.
Over the last week, instructors with “Safe Kids of Florida” Emerald Coast Chapter put on the four day class. Following the classroom work, the students had to show their proficiency at actually installing the car seats at a public checkpoint held on the DeFuniak Springs Chautauqua Center Campus of Northwest Florida State College.
Several studies’ has shown that 80-percent of all child car seats are misused, or installed wrong. If there’s too much wiggle room, the seat is not securely fastened with the seat belt. In addition, all child restraints have an expiration date. Most seats expire six years from the day of manufacture, although this can vary by manufacture.Looking for things to do this week?

♥ The SEASIDE Style Blog "Since Seaside’s inception in 1981, Daryl Davis, founder of Seaside’s downtown retail development and co-founder of the town, has nurtured and refined the idea of the Seaside Style, extending it from colors to interior design to clothing. Her stores, Pizitz Home & Cottage, Seaside Classic, Seaside Beach, Seaside Kids, and Perspicasity epitomize this idea. It is the luxury of simplicity. Sunlight glowing through white cotton curtains as they blow into a room…caressed by ocean breezes, a soft rope hammock in the shade of a wide porch…the comfortable elegance of cotton sundresses and sun-bleached straw hats…screened porches and white picket fences…the taste of crabs caught at the ocean’s edge…this is the Seaside Style. Now an adjective for architecture, interior design, fashion and food, Seaside Style is more than design. It is a way of life."
