Video

Safe from the Start is KID’s 21-minute video presentation covering the essentials of children’s product safety and the Three Steps to Safety parents and caregivers can take to protect children from unsafe products.

Available with closed captioning, this video is ideal for staff trainings, looping videos for patient waiting rooms or maternity centers, and educational events for parents and child care providers.

Watch our safe sleep video below as a doctor educates an expectant mom about the ABCs of sleep, KID’s principle of safe sleep, and learning about recalls.

Here’s a shorter version of the safe sleep video that you can share on social media.

For a brief overview of KID, check out our 40-second video. To preview this and all of KID’s videos, subscribe to our YouTube channel.

Host a workshop

KID’s educational workshop, Creating Safe Environments for Children outlines the problem of unsafe children’s products, identifies specific product hazards, and provides participants with concrete tools and resources to identify and remove unsafe children’s products. It is a flexible and interactive presentation which can be adapted for a variety of audiences. Each participant receives KID’s Product Safety Guide– a comprehensive booklet on children’s product safety. KID has safety guides in both English and Spanish. Take a look at the reviews of past workshop participants.

KID can provide a tailored workshop to the needs of your organization, such as secondhand products, or safe infant sleep. We provide a Safe Sleep Checklist (English or Spanish) — a highly useful handout designed to help parents and caregivers assess the safety of any infant sleep environment.

If you would like to host a safety workshop at your facility or for your organization, contact us or call (312) 595-0649.
