Safe Kids Placer County - Resources & Sponsors
Sutter Roseville Medical Center
"Crossroads Auburn Auto Center joined Safe Kids Placer County in 1997. We are able to provide grants for safety seat inspections for the Coalition through General Motors. Statistics show that over 80% of car seats are installed incorrectly. The service Safe Kids provides keeps our children safe."
