Hot car deaths are preventable. According to Kids and Car Safety, in 2025 38 children died in hot cars and at least 1,198 have died since 1990. Comprehensive occupant detection & alert technology can protect children & should be required in new cars. #ChildPassengerSafetyWeek

A large front blind zone on vehicles can hide children from the driver’s view. The STOP Frontovers Act (S. 4936) would help address this issue on new vehicles. We thank @blumenthal.senate.gov & @markey.senate.gov for leading this effort. Congress must act. #ChildPassengerSafetyWeek

The bipartisan Safe SPEEDS Act (H.R. 7839) would improve e-bike and e-moto product safety and incident data, among other improvements. We thank @rephuffman.bsky.social @congressmin.bsky.social Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) & Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA) Congress should pass it. #ChildPassengerSafetyWeek

🍑 Georgia kids may outgrow their sneakers fast, but not their booster seats. AAA found many children move to seat belts too soon. Before your next drive, check the fit and buckle up safely.

The Protect Our Students Act (H.R. 6821) would help communities improve visibility, curb speeding & better separate road users in school zones. We thank @titus.house.gov for championing this bill. Congress must make safer school zones a priority. #ChildPassengerSafetyWeek

The Pedestrian Protection Act (H.R. 9297) would improve vehicle design, visibility standards & consumer information to protect vulnerable road users, including children. We thank @scanlon.house.gov @mikethompson.house.gov & @friedman.house.gov for their sponsorship. #ChildPassengerSafetyWeek

School buses should protect children on every ride. The School Bus Safety Act (S. 828/H.R. 1828) would require seat belts, AEB and other safety equipment. We thank @duckworth.senate.gov & @repcohen.bsky.social for leading this effort. Congress must act. #ChildPassengerSafetyWeek

Counterfeit car seats can leave children at risk of injury or death. The CAR SEAT Act (H.R. 7679) would help educate families about this safety issue. Thank you Rep. Laura Gillen (D-NY) & Del. Kimberlyn King-Hinds (R-NMI) for introducing. Congress should advance this bill. #ChildPassengerSafetyWeek
