Child Safety Week: Sept. 15-21

KDHE

Every day in America, millions of parents and caregivers take to the road with children in their vehicles. While many children are buckled up in the right car seat for their ages and sizes – nearly half (46 percent) are not, and some aren’t buckled up at all. Child Passenger Safety Week is September 15-21, 2019. Please take this week to share with your patients the importance of child safety by having their car seat/booster seat inspected at a location near them – www.kansascarseatcheck.org.  It is important to register the car seat or booster seat with the seat manufacturer so you can be notified in the event of a recall. Parents and caregivers can find more information on how to choose and use car seats safely at www.ultimatecarseatguide.org.
