Childhood Safety - In and Around Cars


 

Prevention Tips

 

Walk completely around your vehicle before getting in.

• Know where children are. Have children stand in a place where they are in full view.

• Be aware of young children. Young children are small and hard to see.

• Parents, caregivers and all adults need to be vigilant in supervising children, especially when children are in the yard, driveway or parking lot playing near parked cars.

• Roll down your window so you will be able to hear what is happening outside your vehicle.

• Owners of SUVs, trucks, and vans need to take extra care to avoid hitting or running over a child.

• Teach children to move away from a vehicle whenever it is started.
