🚲 DID YOU KNOW? 🚲

A properly fitted helmet can reduce the risk of serious head injury by up to 85%! 🪖

This World Bicycle Day, remember the 2–V–1 Rule for the perfect helmet fit:

🔴 2 fingers above the eyebrows
🔴 V-shaped straps under the ears
🔴 1 finger space under the chin

National Water Safety Month continues! Little moments matter when it comes to water safety. It only takes seconds and a small amount of water for a drowning to happen.

💙 Never leave a child unattended, even for a second
💙 Gather towels, soap, and bath items before bath time
💙 Empty the tub immediately after use
💙 Avoid distractions like phones
💙 Older children should never supervise young children alone

What is Safety Town? 🚦

We’ve seen so many questions and excitement about Safety Town, so we wanted to answer one of the biggest ones!

Safety Town is part of our Interactive Education Experience where children learn real-world safety skills through hands-on learning and guided play.

Swipe through to learn what Safety Town IS, what it ISN’T, and how we’re helping kids build safe habits for everyday life. 💙
