Safety Tips


For the month of February Children's Hospital and Research Center Oakland and the Kohl's Injury Prevention Program would like to share these important safety tips with you.

Safety Tip #1: Screens will NOT keep your child from falling out of a window.
Do not open windows more than 4 inches.
• Move all furniture away from windows.
• Install window guards.

Safety Tip #2: Give your child a boost.
A booster seat should be used for children up to 4 feet 9 inches, yes, that’s about 10 years old.

Safety Tip #3: Don’t turn your child around too early. Face them toward the rear window of the car.
It is safer for a child to remain rear-facing in a convertible car seat until the manufacturer’s top rearfacing weight limit, either 30 or 35 lbs.
