We can all agree that our shared goal is keeping our loved ones safe. Approach conversations by acknowledging their experiences, using relatable examples, and offering practical safety tips.

As kids gain independence & form their own opinions, it's important to approach conversations in a way that feels respectful & collaborative. Framing safety chats as a way to empower them—instead of imposing rules—can help them understand how safety directly impacts their lives.

In rural communities, limited access to education, safety resources, & emergency services provide unique challenges. Factors like distance to recreation centers, different cultural beliefs, & hazards from machinery, livestock, & poor infrastructure can also increase risks.

We encourage families to register all products purchased to get on the recall list. You can also stay informed about any recalls or safety notices issued by manufacturers by subscribing to alerts or checking their websites for updates.

Sudden unexpected infant death (SUID) accounts for approximately 3,700 deaths each year in the United States but the tragedies rarely make the headlines. By raising awareness and identifying new approaches, we hope to reduce these preventable deaths.

🛁 Every 4 days. That’s how often a child fatally drowns in a bathtub. We know this is a tough statistic to hear, but it’s one we can change. 👶 Active supervision is key—always stay within arm’s reach when little ones are in or around water.
