Safe Kids

Winter is here, and while we want our kids to stay warm, it’s important to remember that bulky coats and snowsuits can interfere with the effectiveness of their car seat. 🧥❄️ If your child is wearing a bulky jacket, don’t be tempted to loosen the harness to make it fit. All that extra air in the coat can make the harness seem secure, but it’s not tight enough to protect them in the event of a crash. The safest option is to adjust the harness when your child is not wearing a snowsuit or heavy coat. Keep them warm by using a blanket or jacket over the harness instead! 🚗 Let’s keep our little ones safe and warm this winter.

We are excited to announce the launch of our three-year partnership with America’s Poison Centers dedicated to advancing efforts to protect kids from preventable poisonings. Coming together to work on this initiative, we'll leverage data from the National Poison Data System to conduct a joint research study and raise awareness about poisoning prevention with the help of our extensive partner network.

“Safe Kids has a long history of using data and research to ensure the scientific integrity of our childhood injury prevention efforts,” said Torine Creppy, president of Safe Kids Worldwide. “We’re excited to build on that tradition through a strategic partnership with America’s Poison Centers, a leading organization that so clearly shares our commitment to safety for all children.”
