🚗👶 It’s Child Passenger Safety Week!

The Ohio Traffic Safety Office and the Cincinnati Reds recently donated 46 car seats to Cincinnati Police and Fire through the Reds Saves program — which provides one car seat for every save by a Reds pitcher. The team recorded 41 saves this season, but partners went above and beyond by donating 46 seats! These donated seats will help local families in need, allowing first responders to provide a car seat when they encounter a child who is not properly secured.

We are proud of this partnership which will help keep kids safe across Cincinnati!
