Safe Kids North Fulton will hold an event to offer car seat inspections and education — at no cost to parents and caregivers.

The event takes place Friday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Roswell Fire Station 5, 1200 Hembree Road, according to Roswell's Facebook page.

Caregivers will learn about correct installation and use of car seats, booster seats and seat belts, including registering car seats with the manufacturer to receive potential recall notifications.
