A good deal on a car seat can be tempting, especially with secondhand sales popping up. But deals and online marketplace listings sometimes turn out to be counterfeit seats that haven't been tested to safety standards. Always look for a permanent label with the manufacture date and model number and purchase seats from an authorized retailer. When in doubt, a local Child Passenger Safety Technician or manufacturer representative can help you verify the seat.

A crossing guard can be an important part of a safer school zone. 🚸

Between busy intersections, heavy traffic and the chaos of pick-up and drop-off, getting to and from school can be challenging for young pedestrians. Children are also less capable than adults of judging the speed and distance of oncoming vehicles, making supervision especially important for younger students.

Crossing guards help children safely navigate busy streets and can make it easier for students to walk or bike to school. Research from the CDC found that schools with paid or volunteer crossing guards were more likely to have a greater share of students walking or biking to school.

As kids head back to school, take a moment to thank your local crossing guard for helping keep children safe. And consider your own community: What could change to make walking and biking safer for kids and pedestrians of all ages?

⚠️CROSSWALK SAFETY⚠️

With school back in session, this is a great time for a reminder on crosswalk safety!

Be alert, be cautious, be patient. Know the difference between types of crosswalks and your responsibility as a motorist.

Let's all work together to keep our students and pedestrians everywhere safe!

Back-to-school season is full of new lessons, but some skills take time to develop.

You wouldn’t expect a first grader to solve a high school math problem. In the same way, young children may not yet have the skills needed to be safe pedestrians.

Children under 10 need to cross the street with an adult. Every child is different, but developmentally, most kids are unable to accurately judge the speed and distance of approaching vehicles until around age 10.

As students head back to class, let’s make sure they have an adult by their side when it’s time to cross the street. 🚸📚

Here are a few quick reminders to share with kids as they head back to school and spend more time walking around the community:

1. Use crosswalks and sidewalks!

2. Look right, left, and right again before crossing the street.

3. Make eye contact with any drivers at the crosswalk before crossing the street.

4. If listening to music, remove headphones or lower the volume before crossing the street.

5. Use a cellphone only in a safe area, away from traffic.

With the school year beginning, it’s a great time to reinforce safe walking habits.

🚸 Teach children to look left, right, and left again and to keep watching as they cross.

📵 Encourage “heads up, phones down” to avoid distractions.

🚶‍♀️‍➡️ Always use sidewalks and crosswalks, and make eye contact with drivers before stepping into the street.

đźš— Remind kids to stay alert for turning or backing vehicles and to never run into the road or cross between parked cars.

👧 Children under 10 should always cross with an adult.

🔦 When it’s dark, help them stay visible with bright or reflective clothing.

Let’s all stay alert, model safe habits, and work together to keep every child safe on their walk to and from school. Did you know? Males account for more than 6 in 10 fatal pedestrian injuries among children.

A local ER doctor says roughly 1/3 of the traumas the hospital is seeing right now are from an e-bike or an e-scooter accident.

They, along with police, urge parents to educate their kids on laws and safety tips for riding.
