The Questions
“Is it safe for my child to wear a winter coat in her car seat?”
- Jacki from MD
This is a question that comes up every winter. The short answer is yes, it can be safe but only with the proper precautions.
I am thrilled to announce an exciting new partnership with Union Pacific.
Safe Kids Worldwide and Union Pacific share a commitment to making communities safer for children and families and for the next three years we will be working together to focus on rail safety.
Between 2012 and 2016, there were an average of nearly 2,100 collisions at railway crossings each year, resulting in an average of 244 deaths and 930 casualties – and more than 20 percent of casualties and deaths were children.

Apparently, I am now the father of a “bigger” little kid. Recently, my daughter made this distinction perfectly clear to us, not with her words but by testing and expanding her boundaries (and her parents’ anxiety). And, they both get pushed to their limit.
But, through this new period in our child’s exploration, we learned that, though we had done a good job of preparing our house to keep her safe so far, we had to take our home safety prep to another level, quite literally.

As Chairman of the Safe Kids Board of Directors, I am pleased to announce that, after an extensive nationwide search, Torine Creppy has been named the president of Safe Kids Worldwide.
Some say it is overly ambitious to think we can reach a goal of zero road fatalities involving people on foot and bikes. When it comes to keeping kids safe, there should be no other goal. There is nothing worse for a parent than losing a child. The tragedies are all the more devastating when they are a preventable injury. Things like fires, falls, drowning and car crashes. It’s a child not buckled up correctly in a car seat. It’s an 8th grader with headphones hit by speeding driver or a bicyclist hit by a teen driver who wasn’t required to have adequate on-the-road practice time.
New Research Reveals How Kids Get into Medicine and How to Help Protect Them
Washington, D.C. – Ask parents if they know it is important to store medicine out of children’s reach and sight after every use and 9 out of 10 will agree. But accidental medicine poisoning sends a child under 6 to the emergency room every nine minutes, and every 12 days, a child dies.
Our new infographic shows what parents and caregivers need to know about storing medicine safely in the home.
Nearly 9 in 10 parents agree that it’s important to store medicine up high and out of reach of children after every use, but nearly 7 in 10 report that they aren’t actually doing so. Watch our new video, made with the support of Johnson & Johnson Consumer, Inc.
