Hundreds of families and kids of all ages swept through the fabulous Highline Stages in New York City on May 18 for the first national Safe Kids Day family event.

In 2017, Safe Kids conducted an in-depth analysis of current patterns of injury and parents’ beliefs and behaviors related to keeping children safe while bicycling, scootering, skating and skateboarding.
In our last pedestrian safety blog, we reviewed basic safety tips for common outside activities like walking around the neighborhood, crossing the street and riding bikes.
