As a parent, your child's safety is always on your mind.
Saturday, some parents got peace of mind at the State Farm Insurance Child Safety Day.
State Farm agents from Michiana, as well as volunteers from Clay Fire Department and St. Joseph County Police spent time teaching parents the proper way to install child seat's so that their kids are safe.
State Farm Insurance Agent Tim Grauel says, "It's amazing. Last year, across the nation, out of 500 people, about 80 percent were installed improperly. We're looking to make sure seats are new, they fit the size of the kids, they're fastened tightly enough inside the seats and fastened tightly inside the car."
Grauel says the two most common mistakes parents make are not graduating their car seats as their children grow and not fastening infants tightly enough in their seats.
While their parents were learning, the little ones enjoyed themselves getting their faces painted and leaving with balloons.
