Help Wheel Well by donating Car Seats for families who cannot afford them new
Here's a little more info about this opportunity...
Car Seats for Kids – a Wheel Well initiative towards broader use of child restraints and seat belts, thereby reducing the death toll of children as passengers. This international award-winning campaign has been going for 10 years and just over 10 000 children have benefitted from the campaign. It has grown from a few seats donated to a multi-faceted campaign that now includes Car Seat 101, Car Seat Clinic and Car Seat Cleaning. Wheel Well receives donated child safety seats to create a “seat exchange” where families who cannot afford car seats new, can receive a clean, safe child restraints in return for an affordable donation. The seats are thoroughly cleaned and checked for defects before they are put into stock. We encourage parents to return the seats once outgrown to perpetuate the cycle.
