Safe Kids Advocacy

@SafeKids works every day to prevent unintentional childhood injuries - the #1 cause of death of kids in the U.S. Advocacy is one of our strategies. Join us.

It was a privilege to discuss our latest strategic plan, our common commitment to road safety for all children, & some of the innovative & data-driven projects SKW is undertaking to identify & reach communities where the need is greatest.

[Safe Kids Advocacy @SKWAdvocate]

Yesterday, we were honored to meet w/ @SecretaryPete, @NHTSAgov Administrator Sophie Shulman, and their incredible staff. The safety community is fortunate to share our mission to prevent injuries & deaths with such dedicated public servants.

Thank you for speaking up for New Hampshire kids! We appreciate your continued work to advocate for child safety.

We did it! SB 118 passes the House 192-173. Proud to give the floor speech for a bill that will keep kids safer. (Also, love working with these guys!) #nhpolitics

[Safe Kids Advocacy @SKWAdvocate]

Safe Kids stands in support of #NewHampshire SB 118! If signed into law by Governor @ChrisSununu, this bill would strengthen the state’s child passenger safety law.

This product creates an unsafe sleeping environment for infants. This recall is a helpful reminder that babies should not sleep on soft surfaces or with cute accessories like stuffed animals and crib bumpers.

#Warning: @USCPSC warns consumers to immediately stop using Momaid Infant Loungers sold @Amazon & other websites. They fail to comply with federal safety standards for infant sleep products; risk of suffocation & fall hazard.

Read our letter to the New Hampshire Transportation Committee here: https://t.co/41zj61yJbD

[Safe Kids Advocacy @SKWAdvocate]

Safe Kids stands alongside @SafeRoadsNow and @KidsandCars in opposition to #NewHampshire HB 386!

If passed, this bill would weaken the state’s child occupant protection statute.

[Safe Kids Advocacy @SKWAdvocate]

Motor vehicle crashes are among the leading causes of death for children ages one to 14 in the U.S. State laws should reflect best practices in child passenger protection, focusing on improving safety instead of weakening current laws.

Ahead of the big game on Sunday, the @USCPSC released new data about #TVTipovers. With 81% of reported fatalities between 2000 and 2021 involving kids, it's important to take steps to prevent these incidents. To learn more: https://t.co/dv4po42OCN

[Safe Kids Advocacy @SKWAdvocate]

In our work, studies often reveal troubling disparities in safety outcomes for children depending on their background. We strive to advocate for evidence-based legislation and programs to make positive change, prioritizing communities experiencing these disparities.

[Safe Kids Worldwide @safekids]

As we honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. today, here at Safe Kids we understand that a commitment to equity in child safety is critical to achieving our mission of keeping kids safe from preventable injuries.

#Ohio passed a new distracted driving law!

Before this, Ohio was one of a few states that do not consider distracted driving a primary offense. With this legislative change, officers can pull over a driver for holding or looking at an electronic device.

@NHTSAgov shows .02% drop in traffic deaths through the first 9 months of 2022. Good that recent spikes in fatalities slow, but traffic deaths are still unacceptably high. We are committed to working w/NHTSA, @NTSB & others to make sure ALL kids are safe.

Our friends @NTSB released a great new micromobility report highlighting the challenges assessing risks with e-scooters and e-bikes.  As these forms of transportation grow in popularity, Safe Kids will continue to work to make sure they are safe for kids. https://t.co/OQTPRPTbSL
