_____ If you have a gun in your home, make sure that the gun and ammunition
           are locked up separately and kept out of children's reach. Gun locks are a
           good idea, but should not be relied upon.

_____ Never drive after drinking alcohol.

_____ Use car safety belts safely and at all times.

_____ Teach your child traffic safety. Children under 9 years of age need

           can provide you with 911 coloring books that help children to learn when to
           call.

_____ Learn basic life-saving skills (CPR).

_____ Keep a bottle of syrup of ipecac at home to treat poisoning. Talk with a
           doctor or the local Poison Control Center before using it. Post the number of
           the Poison Control Center number(1-800-732-6985) near your telephone and write
           it in the space under Important Information. Also, be sure to check the expiration date on the
           bottle of ipecac to make sure it is still good.

_____ Use a car safety seat at all times until your child weighs at least 40
           pounds. And a Booster Seat until your child is 80 pounds.

_____ Car seats must be properly secured in the back seat, preferably in the
           middle.

           access to stairways and to objects that can fall (such as lamps) or cause
           burns (such as stoves).

_____ Keep objects and foods that can cause choking away from your child, such
           as coins, balloons, small toy parts, hot dogs (unmashed), peanuts, popcorn,
           chewing gum, baby powder and hard candies.

_____ Use fences that go all the way around pools and keep gates to pools
           locked.

_____ Buckets with as little as 2 inches of water in them can cause an infant
           and/or toddler to drown.

           and the shoulder belt crosses their shoulder, they should use a car booster
           seat. *Check Car Seats Laws and info Page*

           motorcycle. Most local fire departments can help fit you for a bike helmet,

           skateboarding (helmet, wrist and knee pads).
