Today I placed a sticker on the car seat of my 8 month old daughter that could help save her life.
The identification sticker detailed not only her name and date of birth, but also contact details for my husband and I.
The motivation for this was reading about the CHAD (Child Has An Identity) program that orginates in the States. The program was begun after emergency services at the scene of a car accident could not identify the toddler in the car seat. The driver, the babysitter, had been killed. It was only because a hospital emergency room employee recognised the baby, that the parents could be notified.
It is a fear of every parent. How would your children be cared for if, god forbid, you were not able to?
I think this is a terrific idea, especially for those children that my have medical conditions that should be communicated in time of emergency.
