September 20, 2024, Press Release from the Ohio Department of Public Safety: (COLUMBUS, Ohio) – National Child Passenger Safety Week is September 15-21, 2024 and The Ohio Traffic Safety Office (OTSO) is reminding parents and caregivers that children are best protected in a crash when they are buckled correctly in the right seats for their ages and sizes. This week, OTSO visited Richardson Elementary school in Cuyahoga Falls to observe the new “Buckle Up with Brutus” safety education program created for second and third grade students. The program aims to educate students and families about the importance of wearing a seat belt and using a booster seat.
Having the right safety seat and knowing how to use it could save the life of a child if they are in a car crash. The Lima Kiwanis Club has been supporting the Safety Seat Program at the Lima Fire Department since it began in 2022. So far this year, Kiwanis has given out a total of 150 convertible, infant, and booster seats. 93 of the seats went to families that came to the fire station with unsafe seats. Just in 2024, the Lima Kiwanis Club has provided over $3,500 to buy 47 infant seats.
