Every year, thousands of children are killed or seriously injured because a driver backing up didn’t see them. Learn More Frontovers Frontovers Every year, thousands of children are hurt or die because a driver moving forward very slowly didn’t see them. These incidents for the most part take place in residential driveways or parking lots and are referred to as ‘frontovers.’ (the opposite of a backover).

Learn More Other Dangers Other Dangers There are so many ways children can be injured or killed in or around motor vehicles. We have created a very dangerous environment for our children, and it is imperative that we put in place mechanisms to keep them safe as they are unable to do that for themselves.
