It's Halloween week! 🎃 Parents, remind yourselves that some costumes — similar to puffy coats — have excess material and can prevent a car seat from keeping your child SAFE in a crash. Don't risk it — change them into their costumes at your destination. 🦄✔️

Kids are most at risk right as they step on and off the bus. Give them the time and space to do it safely. 🚌 Know what each light means 👇 and check your state's stop-arm laws.

A stopped school bus means kids may be nearby. Give the bus plenty of space. Stay stopped while the red lights are flashing and watch for children before you move. #MCPNews #MCPD

5 giant steps can make a BIG difference. Teach kids to stay about 10 feet — or 5 giant steps — away from the curb while waiting for the school bus. A few simple steps can help make the trip to and from school SAFER! 🚌🧒

Tomorrow (10/7) is @walkrollschool National Walk and Roll to School Day! Expect more students and families walking. Like every day, drivers need to watch their speed, keep eyes on the road, and yield to people in the crosswalk to make every trip a safe trip.

Rear-facing. Forward-facing. Booster. Seat belt. Don’t rush to the next stage. Keep your child in each car seat phase for as long as they meet the height and weight limits. #MCPNews #MCPD #childpassengersafetyweek
