COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- If you have children and are always looking for new ways to save money, Linda DuVal withwww.PikesPeakontheCheap.com has some great ideas.
DuVal was on FOX21 Morning News with several cost-savings tips for families.
First, if you are concerned about whether your child's car seat is installed correctly, there are several organizations that offer free car seat safety checks.
Most of them are by appointment only.

When it comes to dining out, Duval has information on local restaurants that offer "Kids Eat Free" days.
She suggests a new website called www.KidsEatFreePlaces.com.
"Most places require one adult purchase for each free children's meal", says Duval, "And kids usually must be 12 or younger."
When it comes to birthday parties, Rock Ledge Ranch offers an inexpensive fun-filled 1880s-style party.
The cost is $8 per person and includes:
* All-day admission
* A horse-drawn wagon ride around the property
* Popcorn and old-fashioned sodas from the Heritage Shop
* Old-fashioned lawn games
* Reserved picnic tables by the pond.
"Regular admission is $6, so for just two bucks more, you get a pretty good deal", says DuVal.
Reservations required two weeks in advance.
Call 578-6777 for reservations or information.
