Safe Kids North Shore and the Grand Traverse Region Injury Prevention Network are proudly led by Grand Traverse Metro Fire Department

Safe Kids Worldwide is a global network of organizations dedicated to providing parents and caregivers with practical and proven resources to protect kids from unintentional injuries, the number one cause of death to children in the United States. Throughout the world, almost one million children die of an injury each year, and every one of these tragedies is preventable. Safe Kids works with an extensive network of more than 600 coalitions in the U.S. and in more than 20 countries to reduce traffic injuries, drownings, falls, burns, poisonings and more. Since 1988, Safe Kids has helped reduce the U.S. childhood death rate from unintentional injury by 55 percent. Working together, we can do much more for kids everywhere.

The holidays often mean new toys, new places, and lots of excitement — which makes it the perfect time for a quick safety check. 🎄✨

Whether you’re visiting family, hosting friends, or unwrapping gifts, take a moment to look around and make sure little explorers stay safe. Curious kids move fast, and a quick sweep of the room can prevent big hazards before they happen. Keeping high-risk items out of reach helps everyone enjoy the season with fewer worries and more joy. ❤️🎁

The holidays are the perfect time for fun tech gifts — just make sure safety is wrapped up with them! 🎁🔋

Lithium-ion devices power so many of the gadgets we love, but they need a little extra care. Talk with your family about safe charging habits, keep devices away from beds and sofas while plugged in, and remind kids never to use a damaged charger or battery.

Tech gifts are great — safe tech gifts are even better. 🎄✨

The holidays bring lots of excitement (and lots of delicious food!), which means it’s the perfect time to slow down and keep safety in mind. Little ones are curious, kitchens get crowded, and meals move fast — a quick check-in on safe cooking and eating habits helps keep everyone happy and healthy. ❤️🎄

✨🎄 Holiday glow is magical—but let’s keep it safe!

As you decorate, be sure to keep candles, cords, and small decorations out of kids’ reach. And don’t forget to check those string lights for damaged wires before you plug them in!

A little extra caution helps keep the season bright. ✨🕯️

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!

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

Call 231-947-3000 ext. 1234 for your appointment today!
