The legislation includes provisions to help improve Child Passenger Safety for all kids
Washington, D.C. - The U.S. House of Representatives passed a five-year surface transportation bill, the Investing in a New Vision for The Environment and Surface Transportation (INVEST) in America Act (H.R. 3684), which includes several provisions that, if enacted into law, would substantially improve child passenger safety (CPS) for all children.
Before I begin this blog, I have a confession to make: When I was younger, I was never good about drinking water. I’m not proud of it, but it’s true.
I played basketball in high school and went on to play in college. I was often thirsty, especially after an intense workout, but still didn’t take the time to drink water. It wasn’t something my coaches talked about, so I never thought much about it.
It makes perfect sense that my job now includes teaching kids, coaches and parents about the importance of staying hydrated.
For three years, I volunteered as a camp counselor at Lake Arbor Summer Enrichment Camp, a summer camp for children aged 6 through 12. The camp was designed to be an enriching experience for kids, and activities during the day included tennis, swimming lessons, creative writing and chess. We also organized field trips to places and landmarks in Washington, D.C. such as the Smithsonian, the National Air and Space Museum and Frederick Douglass’s house. The campers got a lot out of it, and they showcased it during chess tournaments and talent shows.
With the holidays quickly approaching, now is the time to make final arrangements for vacations and travel. As a CPS Technician, I get asked all kinds of questions about the safest way to travel. I always tell caregivers that being tech savvy is more than just the latest gadgets; it's also knowing best practices for keeping your child safe while riding on a plane, on a train, in a car or any other form of transportation!

Did you hear the one about the street sign that tried to be funny? Nowadays, the highway signs originally designed to tell drivers about upcoming traffic jams or detours, also display signs to keep us safe. They tell us to buckle up our seat belts and child restraints, keep a safe following distance, and never drive after drinking alcohol.

I feel lucky to be involved in yet another Child Passenger Safety Week. This is my 25th celebration! It is a time when the nation’s 34,000 car seat technicians rally around the issue, especially on Seat Check Saturday (September 24), when the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) encourages us to offer car seat checkup events in our communities on the same day.
