Car Seat Safety
As a parent, one of your most important responsibilities is ensuring your child's safety while riding in a vehicle.
Every year, thousands of young children are injured or killed in car crashes. Using car safety seats correctly can protect your child, but with so many options available, it can feel overwhelming. If you are expecting a baby, consider consulting with a certified passenger safety technician (CPST) before your baby arrives to ensure a safe ride home from the hospital.
The right car seat for your child depends on factors like age, size, and developmental needs. For more information on selecting the best car safety seat, consult the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).
For guidance on choosing the most appropriate car seat for your child, visit HealthyChildren.org.

Immunizations
Immunizations are one of the most significant achievements in preventive medicine and a crucial aspect of well-child care. Our practice adheres to the immunization guidelines set by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).
To learn more about the vaccines, the diseases they prevent, immunization schedules, vaccine safety, and other important details, please visit HealthyChildren.org.
Product Recalls
Child products like cribs and toys are sometimes recalled due to defects or safety hazards. Staying informed about recalled items is crucial to keeping your child safe from potential dangers.
Check the Consumer Product Safety site regularly to make sure the products your child uses on a day-to-day basis have not been recalled by the manufacturer or the federal government.
Travel Safety
Children may experience the same health risks as adults during travel, but the impact on their health can be more severe. Recognizing illnesses in children can be challenging, particularly if they are too young to communicate their symptoms. Additionally, their small size and natural curiosity may increase their likelihood of encountering certain health risks, such as interactions with animals. If you're planning to travel with children, it's important to review the information provided on this page to help ensure everyone's safety and well-being.
