Major Activities

Activity 2

Safe kids buckle up program - since 1997 safe kids worldwide and program supporter the general motors foundation has served as safe kids buckle up's major funding source and helped build safe kids buckle up into a multifaceted national and international initiative, bringing motor vehicle safety messages about safety in and around the vehicle to children and families through community and dealer partnerships. The program offers parents and caregivers hands-on instruction about car seats, booster seats, and seat belts by providing car seat education and installation guidance to families and caregivers through our national coalition network. The buckle up program provides interactive educational programs for older children through the cub scout automotive safety patch program, safest generation, and our countdown2drive teen pre-driver program. Safe kids buckle up provides grants to safe kids coalitions to conduct safety programs at the local level. These networks of grassroots volunteers include nationally certified child passenger safety technicians, transportation safety experts, public officials, police officers, nurses, public health experts and general motors dealerships. Since the program's inception, more than 22 million people have been exposed to safe kids buckle up events and community outreach efforts. Certified child passenger safety technicians working through safe kids coalitions have examined over 1.58 million child safety seats at 83,000 events and the program has donated more than 565,832 seats to families in need.

Activity 3

Child passenger safety certification - the national child passenger safety certification training program certifies people in the united states as child passenger safety technicians and instructors. Over 120,000 have completed training and been certified as child passenger safety (cps) technicians since the program began in 1997. Cps technicians and instructors put their knowledge to work by conducting child safety seat checks, where parents and caregivers receive hands-on assistance with proper use of child restraint systems and safety belts.
