The safety seat child identification program was developed as a result of a traffic crash involving a 13-month-old boy named Chad. The babysitter who had been driving the boy was killed. Chad was injured, but no one at the scene knew his identity. An emergency room nurse fortunately recognized him and his parents were quickly located and his injuries were treated. The police department issues stickers to residents of the community for parents to place on the child’s safety seat, on a bicycle safety seat, or inside a child's bicycle helmet.
