How often do your kids ride in the car?  Are you sure they are safe?

This presentation will talk about basic child passenger safety best practices for every age and stage of childhood.  Additionally, we’ll discuss Colorado law, the case to rear-face and booster seats.

Our presenter will be Susan Yates.  Susan has been a nationally certified child passenger safety instructor for over 14 years.  As an Emergency Medical Technician, Susan decided early in her career that she would rather focus on preventing injuries instead of assisting with the aftermath.  Also noteworthy: she is a mother of 4 children, ages 3 to 13 (which she affectionately refers to as her own private focus group).  She currently works for Children’s  Hospital Colorado as the Training Coordinator for the Colorado State Child Passenger Safety Program, which is a cooperative effort of Children’s Hospital Colorado, the Colorado State Patrol and CDOT.

The Slippers 2007 group is responsible for snacks for the March  meeting.
