PIMA COUNTY, Ariz. (KGUN9-TV) - The Pima County Health Department will giving away free booster seats at all Health Department immunization clinics starting July 2.

The booster seats are being given out in partnership with the Arizona Department of Health
Services to help families before the implementation of a new statewide law that goes into effect
August 2.

The new law requires that all children between the ages of 5 and 8 years, and less than 4 feet 10 inches tall are required to sit in a booster seat while riding in a car.

Booster seats are designed to raise a child so the seat belt fits properly and reduces a child's risk
of injury in a crash.

The booster seats will be distributed at the following locations during immunization clinic hours
or by appointment:

  • East Office: 6920 E. Broadway Boulevard (520) 298-3888
  • North Office: 3550 N. 1st Avenue (520) 243-2850
