This is not a gentle reminder. It is a fierce reminder that you can do all things.
You badass!

A10. There has been an increase in fake (unapproved and unsafe) car seats being sold. IFCK CPSTs at @OHSUDoernbecher created this video to help raise awareness for families. #CheckBeforeYouChange https://t.co/hKxPheNjlK

If you're in med school, peds residency, or a peds fellowship, consider joining @T4CIP_.

I am so proud of ALL of the amazing trainees that have come through this program. Our kids will be safer b/c of these amazing, inspiring physicians!

Q8. What is a Child Passenger Safety Technician and how can I find one in my area? #CheckBeforeYouChange

[Adanda @AdandaChuku]

Children 13 years and younger should ALWAYS sit in the back for their safety.

A9: Many parents transition car seats too early. But when it comes to keeping your kids safe, making sure they're in the right type of car seat is one of the most important ways you can protect them. Check out this new blog post from @nationwidekids: https://t.co/d1B21UqiXL

A7) For those located in TN who know of caregivers struggling to get affordable and safe car seats, you can reach out to to me or your local @safekids chapter. You can also reach out to TN Dept of Health Injury Prevention Program (615-532-9154). #checkbeforeyouchange

[Adanda @AdandaChuku]

Do not be too quick to move your child to the next seat. Rushing the process could mean less protection for them.

A4. When I talk to parents about #ChildPassengerSafety, I like to remind them that even though they may be the world's safest driver, there are a LOT of crazy drivers on the road. And we want to make sure our children are as safe as possible.

Parents often move their child from rear-facing to forward-facing when their legs touch the back of the vehicle seat because they think their child will be uncomfortable. Children are flexible and can sit rear-facing with their legs crossed or frog legged! #CheckBeforeYouChange

[Maneesha Agarwal, MD, FAAP @tarhealer]

A6. I sometimes see immigrants from countries where there are different laws regarding #carseats.
So it's important to make sure that groups that serve these kids discuss #childpassengersafety & we invest in educational resources in different languages.

I have been with @T4CIP since the very beginning. I help run the program, facilitate small groups, help create the messaging for the Days of Action, and teach about advocacy communications. I am excited to be participating in today’s #CheckBeforeYouChange chat

A1. Unfortunately, car crashes are a LEADING cause of death in children. Appropriate use of car seats, booster seats, & seat belts can drastically reduce the risk of death & injury.

Today is the @T4CIP_ #CheckBeforeYouChange Day of Action. Many families move their child to the next type of car seat too soon which actually reduces the amount of protection their child has. Follow the hashtag today to see tons of great info about why this matters
