In Michigan, the usage rate for child passenger safety seats is over 90%, yet the mis-use rate is at 77.8%, according to a 2009 Wayne State university study.

Sponsors for the check event include: Houghton City PD, Portage Health, the Office of Highway Safety Planning and the UP Child Passenger Safety Coalition.
