(NEW HYDE PARK, N.Y.) - Nassau County Legislator Ellen W. Birnbaum (D - Great Neck) partnered with Nassau County’s Department of Traffic Safety to provide free Child Car Seat Safety Checks during a successful event at Clinton G. Martin Park in New Hyde Park on Friday, Sept. 27. Nassau County Traffic Safety Coordinator Christopher Mistron (pictured, right, with Legislator Birnbaum and constituent Winnie Tam) conducted the inspections to ensure seats were properly installed to provide optimal protection. “Programs that ensure young passengers are as safe as they can be bring peace of mind to our community. It’s something I’m reminded of every time I fasten my granddaughter into her car seat,” Legislator Birnbaum said. “I thank Christopher Mistron and everyone involved for providing a valuable service to our residents.”
