Child Safety References

A hearty "thank you" to the wonderful organizations below that are involved in baby and child safety. They have provided invaluable information and facts we were able to share to bring awareness to the subjects of baby and child safety and children accident prevention. Specifically they have accumulated statistics and facts involving auto accidents, drowning, child injury and prevention, and data on the causes of preventable death in babies and small children. Additionally, many of these organizations provide valuable tips and advice on preventing horrible accidents that lead to permanent damage and death of our babies, toddlers and small children.
