ANNOUNCEMENTS: The flu vaccine is currently available for the majority of
patients!!! Check with your doctor to see how to best protect your child
for the
upcoming flu season! CAR SAFETY CHECKS Once again, representatives from the Texas Department of Public Safety will be coming to the offices of Fort Worth Pediatrics to conduct FREE car seat safety inspections. Just come to any of our respective parking lots between the hours below (no appointment needed) and ensure your little ones are as safe as possible in the car. Spring: Henderson
Office - May 10, 2010 at 9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. Fall: Henderson Office
- September 13, 2010 at 9:00am - 3:00pm Texas Health Resources, formerly known to many in Fort Worth as the Harris Hospitals, provides FREE car seat safety checks for any age. Just call 877-THR-WELL ext 4 (877-847-9355 ext 4) to schedule. KEEP YOUR TODDLER IN A REAR-FACING CAR SEAT UNTIL AGE 2 (NOT 1) New research indicates that toddlers are more than five times safer
riding in a rear facing car safety seat up to their second birthday.
A child's lower extremities are unlikely to be injured rear-facing and
the fragile skull and neck are much safer.
To see if your car seat is installed properly and to find a certified
passenger safety technician in your area, visit http://seatcheck.org or http://nhtsa.dot.gov.cps/cpsfitting/index.cfm. | CURRENT TOPICS:
