Keep your children buckled up and in the correct car seat.
Be a good example. We know that when adults wear seat belts, kids wear seat belts. So be a good example and buckle up for every ride. Be sure everyone in the vehicle buckles up, too.

Drowning is the leading cause of injury-related death among children between 1 and 4 years old.
Watch kids when they are in or around water, without being distracted. Young children can drown in as little as one inch of water, so it’s important to keep them within an arm’s reach of an adult. This applies to recreational swimming areas like pools and lakes, but also at home around bathtubs and buckets of water.
