New Jersey: "The education works"!!! Great work CPS Tech Stephen Xenios! Thank you to Jackie Stackhouse Leach for sharing the story of a Livingston CPS site having a save! A grandparent came on Wednesday, to let them know she was in a car crash with her granddaughter. Her vehicle was t-boned on the driver side and her granddaughter was on the passenger side in a rear-facing-only Peg Perego seat. The vehicle was totaled but the child came out with minor bruise on her arm. She had a convertible seat installed by the same Technician who assisted her with the infant seat! Great work CPS Tech Stephen Xenios! The education works. Peg Perego USA

Tragedy strikes again. A mother and her two children dead from heatstroke. We think it couldn't happen to us but it does. We are over-scheduled and are often on autopilot.
No need to buy a special device or gizmo-- Just ACT:

A: Avoid heat...stroke-related injury and death by never leaving your child alone in a car, not even for a minute. And make sure to keep your car locked when you’re not in it so kids don’t get in on their own.

C: Create reminders by putting something in the back of your car next to your child such as a briefcase, a purse or a cell phone that is needed at your final destination. This is especially important if you’re not following your normal routine.

T: Take action. If you see a child alone in a car, call 911. Emergency personnel want you to call. They are trained to respond to these situations. One call could save a life.
