I’m very surprised to learn that there is no law that requires a child to be strapped/ restrained SAFELY in an ambulance. Look at that number “5,000 AMBULANCE and fire vehicle crashes/year” how many of those involved in crashes are possibly transporting children to the hospital?!
I hope a change is made very soon!

About time that action is being taken on this. This deficiency has been neglected for too long. Kudos to you for getting the ball rolling.

Are children a Commodity that just don’t matter?? Children are our heart and soul! They do matter! We need Child safety restraint devices that meet all national safety standards in ER Transport Vehicles!

Thank you, ANSR for Kids for recognizing and doing something about this missing link in our emergency care system. It is amazing to learn that there is no law requiring that infants and toddlers be restrained in the back of an ambulance, and I’m sure this is new information to so many other concerned care-givers. I hope our President and his administration take the necessary steps to insure the safety of these babies at a time when their health and/or well-being is already in a compromised state. I urge every mom, dad, and grandparent to sign this petition and stand up for the safe transport of any “little one” they love.

All I can say is, I think 1 child’s life is worth it… if there are an average of 4 child fatalities per year, then how can we do nothing? Especially now – with this administration, when making sure every child has healthcare coverage is such a priority – how can we, who are in charge of keeping them safe, put their lives at risk? I hope other people feel as strongly as I do and sign this with me!
