United Automobile Insurance Group is sending out an invitation for entertainer Britney Spears to come to South Florida and learn how to properly secure an infant in a car safety seat. The North Miami Beach, Florida-based property and casualty company is partnered with Miami Children's Hospital in Miami to provide one of the only indoor Child Safety Seat Check stations in the country. The program, which operates year round, teaches parents, free of charge, how to choose the right child seat, how children should properly be positioned in the seat, and how the seat itself should be positioned in the car. United Automobile Insurance Group underwrites most of the costs of the program, including equipment and staffing.

"Those recent photos of Spears' infant son sitting face forward sent a chill down my spine," says Brian Hannigan, a registered nurse and Miami Children's Hospital Community Educator. "While she may not have been breaking the law, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends, at a minimum, that all children under 1 year old, or under 20 pounds, should sit in the back seat of a vehicle, in a child safety seat facing backwards to prevent serious neck injuries."

"Safety is our No. 1 concern," says Sandra Iglesias of United Automobile Insurance Group. "That is why we extend an invitation to Ms. Spears to come to our seat check station and learn how to properly protect her child."

The next date for the Child Safety Seat Check is on Wednesday, May 31, at the Miami Children's Hospital Employee Parking Lot, 3100 SW 62nd Avenue in Miami. Inspections will be conducted by appointment only from 10:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The last scheduled appointment is at 2:30 p.m. To assure a spot, please call 305-663.6800.
