While Safe Kids Month has flown by, we promise to continue providing plenty of tips, resources, and devices to help parents and caregivers keep their kids safe during a time of the year when preventable injuries are on the rise. Risk is always a reality, but taking precautions and planning ahead — buckling up every ride, every time, identifying a water watcher for kids in and near water, wearing properly fitted safety gear, doing a walk-through of that vacation rental or family member’s home you’re visiting — can go a long way toward keeping kids safe. As we enter the summer months, we hope that parents and caregivers feel confident that they've built a solid foundation of injury prevention knowledge.

Summer is around the corner. It's an exciting season for families, and often includes outdoor activities, vacations, and time away from school. But it’s also a time known as “summer trauma season” among health professionals because unintentional injuries and deaths increase dramatically among children. Here at Safe Kids, we want to make sure parents and caregivers are aware of potential hazards and provide them with tips that they can use to reduce injury risks. With the right tools, parents and caregivers can feel confident no matter the season.

Did you know that kids are at a higher risk for dehydration and heat illness compared to adults? It's easy for kids to forget to stop and drink water when they're having a great time playing outside on a hot and humid day. Be sure your kids drink water every 15-20 minutes during play!

To many of us, Memorial Day is the official start of summer fun. To many health professionals, the period between Memorial Day and Labor Day is often referred to as the “100 deadliest days of summer." Trauma Season is when the number of unintentional injuries among children tend to rise. Each year, 41% of fatal unintentional injuries among children occur during Trauma Season. As you look forward to swimming, boating, and barbecue, keep these safety tips in mind: https://www.safekids.org/blog/let-summer-fun-begin

Did you pack sunscreen, towels, your child's favorite toy? There's a lot on your mind when you're packing for a trip. Whether its a summer road trip to the Grand Canyon or a weekend trip to the beach, remember these travel safety tips to make sure your whole family arrives safely:

⚪ Buckling up on every ride is the single most important thing a family can do to stay safe in the car.
⚪ 71% of car seats are not used or installed correctly, so before you hit the road, check your car seat.
⚪ Heatstroke is the leading cause of non-crash, vehicle-related deaths for children. Never leave your child alone in a car, not even for a minute.

Did you know that more older children and teens drown in open water than in pools? A day at the beach or the lake is fun for kids, but open water also has risks, which are different from those in a swimming pool. According to the United States Coast Guard, 87% of people who drown while boating were not wearing a life jacket. Be aware of situations that are unique to open water, such as limited visibility, depth, uneven surfaces, currents, and undertow.
