Kids and Cars
More than 2,400 children are treated each year for injuries suffered when they are struck by a vehicle driving in reverse, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Two children are killed each week in these incidents, say representatives from the nonprofit organization Kids and Cars, and most of these victims are between 12 and 23 months old. The majority of incidents involve a truck, van or SUV driven by a parent or other close relative, the organization says. To avoid a tragic mistake, always:
- Walk around and behind a vehicle prior to moving it
- Know where your kids are. Make children move away from your vehicle to a place where they are in full view before moving the car and know that another adult is properly supervising children before moving your vehicle
- Teach children that “parked” vehicles might move. Let them know that they can see the vehicle, but the driver might not be able to see them
- Consider installing cross-view mirrors, audible collision detectors, rear-view video camera or some type of back-up detection device
- Measure the size of your blind zone behind the vehicle you drive. A 5’1” driver in a pickup truck can have a rear blind zone of approximately 8’ wide by 50’ long
- Be aware that steep inclines and large SUVs, vans and trucks add to the difficulty of seeing behind a vehicle
- Hold children’s hand when leaving the vehicle
- Teach your children to never play in, around or behind a vehicle and always set the emergency brake
- Keep toys and other sports equipment off the driveway
- Homeowners should trim landscaping around the driveway to ensure they can see the sidewalk, street and pedestrians clearly when backing out of their driveway
- Never leave children alone in or around cars, even for a moment
- Keep vehicles locked at all times, even in the garage or driveway, and always set your parking brake
- Keys or remote openers should never be left within reach of children
- Make sure all child passengers have left the car after it’s parked
- Be especially careful about keeping children safe in and around cars during busy times, schedule changes and periods of crisis or holidays.
