Safe Kids Worldwide

Did you know that kids are at a higher risk for dehydration and heat illness compared to adults? It's easy for kids to forget to stop and drink water when they're having a great time playing outside on a hot and humid day. Be sure your kids drink water every 15-20 minutes during play!

Did you pack sunscreen, towels, your child's favorite toy? There's a lot on your mind when you're packing for a trip. Whether its a summer road trip to the Grand Canyon or a weekend trip to the beach, remember these travel safety tips to make sure your whole family arrives safely:

⚪ Buckling up on every ride is the single most important thing a family can do to stay safe in the car.
⚪ 71% of car seats are not used or installed correctly, so before you hit the road, check your car seat.
⚪ Heatstroke is the leading cause of non-crash, vehicle-related deaths for children. Never leave your child alone in a car, not even for a minute.

This year, 5 children have died in hot cars nationwide, with 3 incidents reported in the past two days, a tragic reminder that we can all take steps to help prevent hot car deaths. It only takes a few minutes for a car to heat up and become deadly to a child inside. As summer temperatures rise, more kids are at risk. It's never OK to leave a child alone in a car, not even for a minute, and not even with the window cracked or the car running.
