OUR MISSION STATEMENT

KidsAndCarSafety.org, a 501 (c)(3) national nonprofit is dedicated to saving the lives of children and pets in and around motor vehicles.

These everyday events referred to as nontraffic incidents includes being run over, hot car deaths, carbon monoxide poisoning, car theft with children/animals inside, falls, knocking cars into gear, drowning from not being able to exit a submerged vehicle, underage drivers, power window strangulation and trunk entrapment, etc.
