Plenty of kids will be walking to school this year. We've got some tips to help all kids arrive safely to school and back home.

Car seats adjust to meet the needs of growing kids. Remember to regularly check and adjust your child's car seat to keep up with those growth spurts. Review your user manual for information on correct fit and seat adjustments.

Impaired driving isn’t limited to vehicles with wheels. As you launch on your favorite river or lake, remember alcohol can be a factor in boating accidents too.

Drunk boating is drunk driving — designate a sober driver on the water and on the road.

We had so much fun helping kids learn bike safety at @SafeKidsGF Bike Rodeo event! 🚲 #LiveUnited

It's grilling season! Before firing up your grill, consider these tips:

✅ Don't place grills near walls, railings, decorations, plants & umbrellas
✅ Never grill indoors or in confined areas
✅ Keep a fire extinguisher nearby
✅ Never leave a grill hot unattended

Kids can gain access to a car but sometimes it's difficult for them to get out. Make sure to keep your doors locked at all times. #noheatstroke

[AAA North Dakota @AAANorthDakota]

It's that time of year! Make sure your kids wear their helmets while riding, skating and scooting around town.

They just might get "caught" by local law enforcement and ticketed with a certificate for a free small cone from @DairyQueen!

Going boating this weekend? Did you know that 84% of the people who died by drowning in boating-related incidents were not wearing a life jacket? Everyone in the boat should wear a life jacket. It's a simple thing to do that will keep the whole family safe. #watersafetyawareness

[AAA North Dakota @AAANorthDakota]

It's the holiday weekend and we anticipate many people to be out and about. A helpful reminder to remember that bicycles = vehicles! Know the rules of the road, obey all traffic laws, put away distractions and most importantly - share the roadways. #ShareTheRoadSaveALife

[nhtsagov @NHTSAgov]

Every good bicycle ride starts with a helmet and riding to school is no exception. Before their feet hit the pedals, remind them of the importance of wearing a helmet. Learn more: https://t.co/3jhgnqUs6S #BikeRollToSchoolDay

@HonkolasClass Thanks for coming!! We love this week of the year in which we get to train about 700 kids and 75 adults in water safety.

[Safe Kids Advocacy @SKWAdvocate]

Congratulations and well done to @SafeKidsGF and traffic safety champions across #NorthDakota on today’s passage of SB 2362, a primary seat belt law, after 12 years of dedicated advocacy!

Join us for Quick Tip Tuesday to learn the ABC's of safe sleep.

@HonkolasClass It is our honor and privilege to do this work and we are blessed to have an amazing team to work with. We are glad the kids enjoyed it and we hope they learned a thing or two also!! Thanks for your nice comments.

#PopQuiz: Do you know about the Pinch Test? With the harness buckled and tightened and chest clip placed at armpit level, pinch the harness strap at your child’s shoulder. If you are unable to pinch any extra webbing, you’re good to go. Get more tips: https://t.co/QtK3o9z7gu

March is Illinois Poison Prevention Month. It can be quite easy for little ones to get access to grandparents' medication. Keep it in child-resistant containers and up high and out of reach.
