Remember to always wear a properly fitting bike helmet. Children, ages 5 to 9, are at highest risk of being hit by a car.
Most collisions happen close to home.
So no matter how short the ride, make sure everyone in the car is buckled up, including you. Set a safe example. Kids under 5 are at greatest risk when fire strikes. They may panic and hide in closets or under beds. Young children also need special help to escape.
