OUR MISSION STATEMENT
for Kids And Car Safety
KidsAndCarSafety.org, a 501 (c)(3) national nonprofit is dedicated to saving the lives of children and pets in and around motor vehicles.
​
Vehicle-related accidents are the #1 killer of children in the United States. Almost all of these tragedies are preventable. There is a significant opportunity to protect children and pets by focusing efforts on keeping them safe in and around vehicles through risk identification, engineering changes, and education.

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.
