I spotted a Facebook post which I thought was very important to pass on to parents. Lauren Becker an Emergency Service Volunteer has graciously allowed me to quote her on such an important safety topic. One that I had never thought to do. Thank you Lauren.
"I work in emergency services both at volunteer firehouse and in EMS and this is very important, I post it every few months to remind people to both do it and update it.
Too frequently firefighters come upon a car wreck where the mom is unconscious and there are children in the car who are too young to speak or communicate anything useful to the rescue team.
ADVICE: Place a sticker on each child'...s car seat providing information that can help rescuers.
Include: child's name & DOB, parent's names, DOB & phone, emergency contact info, child's doctor, any medical issues and any medications.
Please update this information as needed as well."
