Is your child ready for an e-bike? 🚲⚡ Before riding an e-bike, kids

speed and size safely.
Recommended guidance:
• Under 12 years: No e-bikes 🚫
• Ages 12–15: If ready, choose Class 1 only 🚲
• Ages 16+: Start with Class 1 👍
Always check local and state law

The Right Seat. The Right Fit. The Right Education.

Car seats save lives.
Education prevents misuse.
Child Passenger Safety Technicians play a vital role in connecting the two.

Our mission is not simply to give away car seats. Our mission is to ensure children ride safely.

A car seat only protects a child when it is the right seat, installed correctly, and used properly. That is why caregiver education is a critical part of child passenger safety.

When staffing, weather, or event logistics make it difficult to provide hands-on education, distributing seats may seem like the quickest solution. However, providing a seat without ensuring caregivers understand how to use it can leave children at risk. Every seat distributed is an opportunity to empower a caregiver and protect a child. Let's continue to prioritize both access and education.
