The Cortland County Health Department will host the free-of charge event from 10 a.m. to noon on Saturday (Jan. 27) at the Homer Fire Station at 85 S. Main St. in the village of Homer.

Certified child passenger technicians will be on hand to check a child’s seat for proper installation, harnessing and overall safety of the seat.
