Safe Kids Worldwide is a global network of organizations dedicated to providing parents and caregivers with practical and proven resources to protect kids from unintentional injuries, the number one cause of death to children in the United States. Throughout the world, almost one million children die of an injury each year, and every one of these tragedies is preventable. Safe Kids works with an extensive network of more than 600 coalitions in the U.S. and in more than 20 countries to reduce traffic injuries, drownings, falls, burns, poisonings and more. Since 1988, Safe Kids has helped reduce the U.S. childhood death rate from unintentional injury by 55 percent. Working together, we can do much more for kids everywhere.

‼️Attention Parents‼️
Evenflo is recalling certain Titan 65 car seats, as they may have been manufactured without a tether strap.

Why is this important?: A child seat with a missing tether strap may not adequately protect a child in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

What you can do: Check your child's car seat for the date of manufacture, the model number, and if your child's seat has a tether strap. If it falls within the recall, owners may contact Evenflo customer service at 1-800-233-5921.

Letters notifying owners of the safety risk will be mailed out around February 20, 2026, with potential additional letters to follow.

The holidays often mean new toys, new places, and lots of excitement — which makes it the perfect time for a quick safety check. 🎄✨

Whether you’re visiting family, hosting friends, or unwrapping gifts, take a moment to look around and make sure little explorers stay safe. Curious kids move fast, and a quick sweep of the room can prevent big hazards before they happen. Keeping high-risk items out of reach helps everyone enjoy the season with fewer worries and more joy. ❤️🎁

The holidays are the perfect time for fun tech gifts — just make sure safety is wrapped up with them! 🎁🔋

Lithium-ion devices power so many of the gadgets we love, but they need a little extra care. Talk with your family about safe charging habits, keep devices away from beds and sofas while plugged in, and remind kids never to use a damaged charger or battery.

Tech gifts are great — safe tech gifts are even better. 🎄✨

✨🎄 Holiday glow is magical—but let’s keep it safe!

As you decorate, be sure to keep candles, cords, and small decorations out of kids’ reach. And don’t forget to check those string lights for damaged wires before you plug them in!

A little extra caution helps keep the season bright. ✨🕯️
