  • CAR SEAT INSTALLATION SITE UPDATE- Have heard through parents that the following 2 sites no longer install car seats.  "Precious Cargo" now refers parents to "Safe Kids" and "Delray Beach" now refers parents to PB Fire Rescue. 
  • ROAD ID.com--Please check out this site for your children if they go walking/biking, for yourself, for your loved one.  www.roadid.com  If you can't speak for yourself, Road ID will speak for you.  Road ID enables First Responders to immediately contact family members and friends.  Road ID enables family members to provide additional details about your health or give consent for potentially life saving procedures.  Road ID enables hospital staff to locate vital medical records.  Road ID can communicate medical conditions or allergy information to medical staff.  Road ID can prevent serious delays in treatment by saving crucial time during the "golden hour" of medical treatment.  It's far better to have Road ID and not need it than to need Road ID and not have it. It's not just a piece of gear, it's peace of mind.  Accidents happen far more than you think they do. Each year approximately 450,000 of us are taken to hospitals unconscious and without identification.
