Trauma Services:
Keep Your Kids Safe In & Around Cars
Every week in the U.S., at least 50 children are backed over in driveways and parking lots.
Every week at least two of these children die.
Children are also injured or killed because they cannot be seen in front of larger and taller vehicles. Little ones who dart outside to say goodbye often go unseen by a driver when the vehicle is set into motion. Many times the driver of the vehicle is a parent, relative or friend. All of these heartbreaking incidents are preventable.
The "Keep your kids safe in and around cars" brochure, available in English and Spanish, offers safety tips and reminders on how to keep kids safe inside and outside of cars, including:
- SUVs, minivans and trucks may have larger blind zones, making it difficult or impossible for the driver to see children behind or directly in front of a vehicle. Steep inclines can reduce visibility even more.
- Teach children that parked vehicles might move. Let them know that even though they can see the vehicle, the driver might not see them.
- Know where your kids are before moving your vehicle.
Feel free to download the complete brochure, and share it with your friends and family.
