A while back I started taking steps to make sure my girls were as safe as they possibly could be, not just safe, but taken care of. On a car ride I got to thinking about their safety in the car. Of course they are always buckled up and car seats properly installed, but what else could be done? What if we were in an accident and I could not give their information to anyone?
I ran across an idea on pinterest and loved this idea- having your children's information on their car seats for any emergencies. Of course I took an extra step so that their information is not just laid out there for anyone to look through my car window and see.
So I hopped on my computer and simply typed up a few key pieces of need to know info. Names, birthday, parent's names, parent's phone number (I gave each girl a different number), and their medical record number. I printed this out and cut it into a info card so I could cover it.
After I taped them securely to the car seat base I taped the info closed, but not too difficult to open.
I hope this inspires other parents to do the same for your children. And please always make sure your car seats are installed properly. If you have an infant, the car seat should always been rear facing. The law (in CA at least) is to keep your child in a rear facing seat until they are at least one year old AND 20 pounds, but the new recommendation is to wait until your child is two years old.
