About

Raising Safe Kids: One Stage at a Time is a safety campaign focused on child development and injury risks to children 14 and under.

This parent-friendly Web site was created to educate parents and caregivers on how to keep kids safe from serious injury as they grow. Weekly rotating content on the site will feature video tips, safety information and quizzes. The site was launched in conjunction with National Safe Kids Week, which takes place every year during the last week of April or the first week of May.

Unintentional injuries are the number ONE cause of death and disability for kids ages 1 to 14. With the right information, many of these injuries can be prevented.

Why These 5 Risk Areas?

Motor vehicle occupancy injuries, falls, bicycle-related injuries, fire and burns and poisonings cause the greatest number of injuries to children 14 and under.

For more information about water safety, pedestrian safety, choking and suffocation prevention, safe sleep and other important risks to kids, please visit www.usa.safekids.org
