Are you and your family traveling this winter? ❄️

SKPA has tips to keep you and your loved ones safe during this snowy season:

1. Always keep an emergency kit in your car that is specific to your family's needs. 🧰
2. Listen to travel advisories before driving in winter weather conditions. 📻
3. Remember that car seats and thick winter coats DO NOT mix! Use your child’s puffy coat as a blanket instead to keep them warm and strapped in safely. 🧥

Unfortunately, every year in the United States, 1 out of 10 children experiences a traumatic brain injury (TBI).

To help prevent your child from experiencing a TBI, ensure they wear a properly fitted helmet and protective equipment appropriate for their age and the activity or sport they are participating in. 🏒

March 1st is Baby Sleep Day, established by The Pediatric Sleep Council to raise awareness about the importance of sleep for infants. But what happens when your baby falls asleep in the car? Here are a few important rules to remember:

😴 Naps should be two hours or less in the car. Make sure you're making frequent stops during long car rides.

😴 Transfer your child to a safe sleeping area once you reach your location, car seats don't have the proper support for infant sleep outside the car.

😴 Make sure your car seat is at the proper recline when you install it, especially for children under one year old.

😴 Ensure the car seat's harness is snug and well-fitting, so that they're in a safe position if they do drift off.

😴 Make sure others who may be driving your child know these rules as well!

A few moments of sleep from baby can be a welcome break, but make sure they're snoozing safely! Still have questions? Contact a CPST!

THIS or THAT? You choose! 🤔🚗
✔️ Snug harness = passes the pinch test
