Safe Kids Worldwide Launches “Spot the Tot,” a new program to address the thousands of injuries caused around vehicles each year

Safe Kids Worldwide today launches

"Spot the Tot" a new program to help prevent children from being injured or killed in driveways, parking lots and sidewalks.

This is the newest initiative of Safe Kids Buckle Up, which has promoted safety for children in and around cars for more than 10 years.

Spot the Tot is a nationwide expansion of the successful program of the same name created by Safe Kids Utah. As an immediate first step, it teaches parents, drivers, caregivers and children new safety habits to raise awareness of small children sharing the same space as vehicles.

This initiative responds to a steady increase in the reported number of children killed or injured around cars and not just as passengers.
