One size does NOT fit all when it comes to car seats!

Every child is unique, and so is every car seat. Always refer to your car seat's instruction manual to ensure the best fit for your child's weight, height and age. When in doubt, connect with a certified CPST who can walk you through it step by step. Schedule an in-person or virtual car seat check appointment: https://www.safety-connection.org/caregiver/

oday is World Bicycle Day. Before your family rides near tracks, teach them the rules. Always look both ways before crossing. If possible, walk, don't ride across and always cross at a 90-degree angle. Narrow bike wheels can get caught. Trains are quieter and faster than you think. Make safe choices on every ride.

🌱 Rethinking Pavement: Making Cities Breathe Again 🌍

Our cities are covered in concrete—but at what cost?

🔸 Non-permeable surfaces like asphalt and concrete block rainwater from reaching the ground, worsening flooding and overheating our streets.
🔸 Replacing them with permeable, nature-based surfaces allows water to soak in, supports urban biodiversity, and reduces the urban heat island effect.
🔸 More green = more cooling, more life, more resilience. 🌿

It’s time to swap excess pavement for soil, trees, and planting.
Not just for beauty—but for climate, ecosystems, and people.
