Backover and Frontover Prevention for Big Kids On The Way
As children get older, they are less likely to be injured or killed in "backover" or "frontover" incidents - but it’s still important to take safety precautions when kids of any age are around cars.
 Top Tips
- Walk all the way around your parked vehicle to check for children - or anything that could attract a child, like pets or toys - under or behind your vehicle before getting in and starting the engine.
- Accompany young children when they get in and out of a vehicle.
- Identify and use safe play areas away from parked or moving vehicles. Block driveways so cars cannot enter and exit.
- Designate a safe spot for children to wait, where a driver can see them, when nearby vehicles are about to move.
- Firmly hold the hand of each child when walking near moving vehicles and when in driveways, in parking lots or on sidewalks.
