When I became pregnant with my first child I immediately immersed myself in all of the information that was to be had when it came to everything “baby”, especially health and safety. Of course the one major safety issue that was prominent in my research was the importance of using car seats. Not only that but also using these seats properly. There is so much to it that you don’t even realize at first. I figured as long as I bought a good seat and strapped it in, we’d be fine. That’s not always the case. There’s so much more to keeping kids safe while driving.
Did you know that the leading cause of death for infants and children in the US is by motor vehicle accidents? These fatal injuries, in many cases, can be prevented by keeping children restrained in safety seats, properly. In a safety seat that is appropriate for the child’s age and weight.
I have quite a few friends and family members in mind that I’m going to send the following video to and encourage to visit the associated Facebook page for Evenflo’s “A Mother’s Promise” campaign. Evenflo is encouraging all parents to promise to keep their kids safe in all aspects while on the road, from making sure their children are properly restrained to putting that cell phone down while driving. Our kids deserve this promise from us.
I promise, if you are like me, you will get a little choked up while watching this touching video. It’s all about mothers making promises to do everything in their power to protect their children.
Do you have a Facebook account? Would you like to post your promise on the “A Mother’s Promise” wall? Check it out!
