While we’re headed into cooler weather, never leave a baby alone in a car, not even for a minute, and not even with the window slightly open. Even on a seemingly mild day, temperatures inside a car can rise nearly 20 degrees in 10 minutes, and cracking the window has no effect.

Buckling up on every ride is the single most important thing a family can do to stay safe in the car. ⁠If you're not sure if your child is ready for the seat belt alone, do the Safety Belt Fit Test.

If your child doesn't pass the test, then they still need a belt positioning booster seat to keep them safe!

When comparing rural and urban areas, rural children are at higher risk for unintentional injury and have higher levels of child restraint misuse. Families with children living in rural areas may have issues accessing certified child passenger safety technicians, devices, and other resources. We aim to bridge those gaps to access and provide seats and seat checks to communities that need them most!

Schedule your car seat check for this Friday at Station 11 (3000 Albany St. just off Veterans Drive) from 10-3.

It’s , and we can’t forget about your new teen drivers! 😉🚗

Parents can make a difference in their teens' driving behaviors by talking about expectations ahead of time. Teens with a formal driving agreement take fewer risks behind the wheel. Knowing and practicing safe driving decisions everyday will help teens form good habits.
