Motor vehicle crashes are a leading cause of injury death for children aged one to 13 according to the Centers for Disease Control. Every 34 seconds one child under age 13 in involved in a crash. There are many factors that continue to place young children at elevated risk for death and injuries including improper use of child restraint, graduation from a booster seat to a seat belt too early, and sitting in the front seat of the vehicle. Car seat misuse rates in Butte County are at about 85%.

The goal of the Car Seat Check Up event is to teach parents how to correctly install and use car seats and to ensure that children are in the right seats for their ages and sizes. For more information on child passenger safety, visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s Web site at safercar.gov/parents.

The spread of political constitutions around the world since the 18th century is usually linked to a notion of the inexorable rise of democracy and studied only with regard to particular nation-states. It is also generally looked at in isolation from other forms of literature. Linda Colley, the Shelby M. C. Davis 1958 Professor of History at Princeton University, re-examines the contagion of constitutions across continents and its meanings. She also questions the future of this genre in a world where human relationships with words and print are dramatically shifting. Free | More Info: 530-898-5366
