The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recommends that all children 12 and under be restrained in the rear seat. Researchers estimate that putting a child in the back seat instead of the front reduces the chance of injury and death by more than 30%, whether or not the car has a passenger air bag. The center of the back seat is the farthest away from a possible side impact, so we always try first to install a safety seat there.

The general rule of thumb here is that your child can sit in the car without a seat when he or she is tall enough that the shoulder belt fits at least an inch below the ear. This will help you make sure that the seatbelt will protect your child properly, and minimize the risk that he or she will be strangled by the seatbelt in an accident.

We prefer you sit in the cabin. But, if you do stay in your car, DO NOT run your car engine. Also there is NO SMOKING on board. These are Coast Guard safety rules. If you have special mobility needs, and can’t leave your car, we should also know that in case of emergency. If you are ill or are otherwise unable to leave your vehicle, please let the crew know as you board.

The answer may be surprising. Most people believe that hand washing is better. Two university studies and thousands of professional car washers, including ECO, know the answer. Automatic washing with 100% soft cloth is far superior to hand washing.

The safest seat is one that fits your child, fits your vehicle, and one that you will use correctly each and every time. Car seats with a 5 pt. harness offer the best protection (visit CPSafety to learn why). Car-Safety.Org has a great guide to buying a carseat.

Occasionally, the tour will enter churches, taverns, or retail shops where you may sit for a spell. Please alert your guide of your need to sit. Although we recommend the complete tour (1 and ½ hours ) a shorter tour can be provided. Please request the shorter tour at the time of your booking so that the appropriate tour guide may be booked.

No place is 100% safe from a Tornado. However, the safest place is underground a Storm Shelters of America custom made Tornado shelter. Even areas that have little history of Tornadoes can be susceptible. A few years ago, a tornado hit Yellowstone National Park leaving a path of destruction up a 10,000 ft. mountain.

The safest child safety seat is one that will "fit" your child, that is comfortable, that "fits" in your car, the seat is used all the time and it is affordable.

Day surgery is performed in two locations: in the hospital's main building at 55 Fogg Road and in the Outpatient Services Center at 780 Main Street (Route 18).

FM-200 is the safest for people, planet and equipment. It is the best solution for clean fire systems.

We've heard horror stories of baby-sitters leaving children in the care of boyfriends, taking children to the movies without parental consent, leaving the child alone to go to the store - not to mention the terrible stories of baby-sitters becoming overwhelmed and hurting or killing the child. In December 2000, three young children reportedly died in a house fire after a baby-sitter left them alone.

Children have a much better ability to focus close at a younger age than adults. They get a much bigger picture at this distance. In general viewing anything close will not have any effect on physically changing the eyes on anyone. However, get your child’s vision tested by an eye doctor to make sure that he / she does not have a problem seeing far objects clearly.

No. With small children Ms. Mongeon spends most of her time on the floor playing and taking measurements and photographs. She hates sitting still myself, so she certainly would not insist on it with a young person, besides being still often inhibits the natural personality of the child from being exhibited. All of her subjects seem to enjoy the sittings, from B. B. King to the babes.

Please feel free to leave your child in the Noah's Ark Nursery in the education building. It is a well-equiped nursery, with cribs and toys, and tended by dedicated and caring individuals. Please ask someone to show you where it is.

We understand the desire of parents to observe what their children are doing in class. We have class observation day once during the fall term. Otherwise, nobody is permitted in the studio to watch class. We find that the students are easily distracted by observers. When too many authority figures are present, the children's focus is distracted looking for Mom and Dad's approval, or students act out seeking a reaction or attention.

Yes. Even with a large, 8.4” screen, the Concierge device is relatively small, with a total size of 10” x 8”. The interface won’t impede entry or exit for children.

For safety reasons, we cannot allow your child to sit on the side and watch the class. If you feel that your child may be apt to do this, please wait and enroll him/her in a few months. Swimming can only be learned by actually going through the motions.

Obviously in a two-seat car, there isn't much choice. In a vehicle with four or more seats, though, try to have your child sit in the rear for as long as possible, whether he or she is in a car seat or not. That's always the safest place.

It is fine if your child decides to move around during class. We do not expect children to sit still through the entire class. However, safety is very important, please do not allow your child to run in the classroom. When children wander from the circle, parents may take the activity over to them or gently bring them back to the circle.
