The uses of safety belts and child safety seats have been proven to greatly reduce your chances of sustaining serious injuries during a motor vehicle crash. This is what we hope to teach you when you come to one of our car seat clinics. The best car seat is the one that you will use properly. But with so many different car seats on the market, it’s no wonder parents find this overwhelming. The proper use of car seats helps keep children safe. Each year thousands of young children are killed or injured in car crashes. One of the most important jobs you have as a parent is keeping your child safe when riding in a vehicle. A properly installed and used child safety seat will greatly decrease the chance of your child sustaining a serious or life threating injury during a motor vehicle crash.
This clinic is designed to teach parents and caregivers how to properly install and use a child safety seat. The dates for upcoming car seat clinics are posted on the Police Department calendar. unless demand necessitates an earlier cut off time. The last car will be accepted at 11:30 a.m. Each car seat check will take about 30 minutes. No appointment is required, just drop by during the event. A certified technician will help parents and caregivers learn to install and use their child safety restraints properly.

WE WILL RESUME WHEN IT IS SAFE TO DO SO.** About Car Seat Clinics If you do not need to regularly haul over 2,000 lbs, or tow more than 10,000 lbs, if you want an easy to use, and well balanced interior, and you might just like to have a sportier truck that can still do all of the normal "truck stuff", the a Tundra just might be your truck.** CAR SEAT CLINICS HAVE BEEN TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED. I really enjoy driving this truck, and the overall ownership experience has been quite good. The Tundra now has almost 9,000 miles on her. This is the main reason the the four star "Value" rating!
When I am getting 17 or 18 MPG, I am pretty happy. The one thing that cannot be denied, is that fuel economy and Tundra do not go in the same sentence.
I like the interior a lot, and would not trade it for the other designs, that look a little gosh. If you want "Kid Toy", or more aggressive styling, I suppose you could make a case, but I find the interior to be very well balanced, with easy to understand ergonomics. There is where I completely do not get it. Many reviewers have also complained about the interior. Many reviewers have complained about power, and having driven the other trucks, I can say that the Tundra is right in the thick of it. If you put it in Tow / Haul mode, watch out. Power is very good, however the factory normal setting requires a little more "hoof" to get it to show its capabilities. Once you add the sway bar, the Tundra handles very well, and behaves like a smaller truck. It has what I would call a sportier ride, although the rear anti-sway bar is a must. With all of this said, you would think that I would not have given such a high rating, however here is the punch-line. this is well know, because the Tundra comes in one flavor, 1/4 ton and its a lighter quarter ton than many. Our technicians will also help you understand passenger safety laws, show you how to choose your next car seat and give you handy car seat safety tips. There are better trucks for heavy hauling and towing. Car Seat Inspection Schedule an appointment with our Child Passenger Safety Technicians to check your current car seat(s) for proper installation. I will say this up front there are better riding trucks my son has a 2020 RAM, and it has an almost car like ride. I have since upgraded the suspension to an Eibach lift kit (just 2", very conservative), and added the TRD rear anti-sway bar. The Tundra has the SR5 package, w/ TRD Off-Road, the larger 39 gallon gas tank, and TRD dual exhaust, out of the box. They both were very durable, handled well, and had decent power. This was greatly influenced by my time owning two Tacoma's beginning in 1999.
I have also wanted to own a full size pickup truck for most of my time as a driver.Īfter driving everything out there, Fords, Chevy's, some Dodges (RAM's), and some other larger SUV's, I came to the decision last May to purchase a Toyota Tundra. I have owned smaller SUV's and Trucks for over 30 years now.
