AURORA, Ill – In an effort to help ensure safe car travel for children and to provide a weekend family activity, state Rep.

“As many families are frequently traveling around town to meet the demands of busy summer schedules, it’s important to know that your children are properly secured inside your vehicle,” Kifowit said. “As a parent myself, I know this is one aspect of summer safety that should never be overlooked.
