Got an old car seat collecting dust? It's time to trade it in.

 

Drive Safe Hampton Roads is hosting its annual "Old, Used, Borrowed and Abused" Child Safety Seat Round-Up throughout February.

 

Using outdated or damaged car seats can pose serious risks to children in the event of a crash.

 

This initiative aims to remove such seats from circulation, ensuring the safety of young passengers.
