| Tool Kit Available For Promoting Child Passenger Safety Week |
The Child Passenger Safety Week (February 9-15, 2003) planner contains ideas and resources to help promote booster seats to child care providers, parents, and others. Developed and made available by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHSTA), the planner includes an introductory letter, a list of activities, a sample press release, media tips, a fact sheet, logos, contact information for state and territory highway safety offices, and a "talking point creator." NHSTA is encouraging pediatricians, clinics, and local health departments to distribute correct child passenger safety information to parents and child care providers. NHSTA is also coordinating with National SAFE KIDS Campaign coalitions in delivering training in "Moving Kids Safely in Child Care," a curriculum developed by NHSTA and the American Academy of Pediatrics to educate child care providers about how to transport children safely. The planner and additional information about Child Passenger Safety Week is available at http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/people/injury/childps/CPSWeekPlanner/index.html. |
