Bernie & Phyl’s Furniture In The Community

Saugus, MA, August 9, 2005 — Bernie & Phyl’s Furniture will host a child car seat safety event at its Saugus store at 901 Broadway on Friday, August 26, from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. During this time, parents can have trained technicians check to see that their infant/child car seat is installed correctly and have it reinstalled if it is not. This event is being co-sponsored by WCVB-TV/Channel 5, the Mass State Police Traffic Program Section, and New England Toyota Dealers.

Restraining a child properly in a motor vehicle can literally mean the difference between life and death. Using a correctly installed car seat that is appropriate for the child’s weight and age can be the crucial difference in case of an accident.

“This is the third year we have held this car seat event at our Saugus store and it is always a big success,” said Bernie Rubin, chairman of Bernie & Phyl’s Furniture. “Participating in the car seat safety check will help keep kids safe and remind parents that everyone needs to buckle up in the car.”
