Nothing in this world is more precious than your family’s safety. Especially for parents and parents-to-be of little ones, great peace of mind comes with knowing your bundle of joy is protected from harm’s way. To help keep you and your family secure at home and on the road, the Trenton Police Department will be hosting its upcoming Family Extravaganza.

On Saturday, June 3rd, the Trenton Police Department is inviting community members to their Family Extravaganza. This event will be held from 10 am to 1 pm at the TPD’s auxiliary lot, 272 N. Clinton Avenue, Trenton, NJ 08609. Throughout the day, guests are invited to take advantage of the resources and tools available to help keep you and your child safe and protected. For example, if you are a parent or a parent-to-be with concerns regarding car seat safety, Community Affairs Detectives will be on-site to provide Car Seat Safety checks to ensure your little one is in the proper equipment. Families are also invited to bring car seats that have yet to be installed, as the TPD will be there to offer a helping hand in assuring proper set-up and installation.

Proper car seat installation is a genuinely lifesaving pursuit. According to the CDC, good car seat use can reduce the risk of injury in children from car crashes by 71% to 82%, compared to just seatbelt use alone. By ensuring your family stays informed on the latest car seat safety guidelines and keeping an eye out for any product recalls, you are giving your little ones the best shot at safety in case of an emergency. To ensure your family is safely hitting the road and up to date with all the latest safety standards, please visit the CDC website here for additional details: Child Passenger Safety – CDC.

In addition to necessary car seat safety resources, this event doubles as a maternal and paternal health and wellness fair. When mom and dad thrive, the whole family thrives, and now is your chance to connect with resources that will help keep your entire family on track to a healthy lifestyle. An abundance of organizations throughout the community will be in attendance to help community residents take advantage of available services. Help is here in Trenton, so swing by and accept the following steps in your health and wellness journey!

This event is hosted by the Trenton Police Department, which works tirelessly to keep our community safe in every sense of the word.
