Keeping Your Kids Safe and Sound

Safe Kids

Accidental injury remains the leading cause of death among children ages 14 and under in the United States. It is estimated that 90 percent of accidental injuries can be prevented.

Safe Kids Fargo/Moorhead's mission is to reduce and prevent accidental injuries to children by creating and supporting child safe communities through educating families and children, providing safety devices, and advocating for public policy change. Learn more about Safe Kids.

Passenger Safety
Research indicates that as children increase in age, parents are less likely to use appropriate child restraints. Learn about the North Dakota Child Passenger Safety Law.
