Renowned artist Lee Silton conducted a workshop and demonstration with talented students from South Los Angeles and as far as Glendale CA. The workshop was held at the Avalon Carver Community Center.

CAR SEATS FOR KIDS

Picture
3 car seats that saved the lives of 3 children
HERE'S THE PROBLEM: When newborns are released from Los Angeles area hospitals, many are not properly restrained in child passenger safety seats. The uncertified hospital staff members are not allowed to install the seat or restrain the infant. This can result in infants being put in harms way.

Kids Are 1st certified car seat technicians provides a safe and properly installed car seat and restrains the child correctly. Kids Are 1st needs funds to purchase new car seats, train more  technicians to become certified and conduct child passenger safety seat check events. This will result in helping to save lives and reduce injuries to children.

Your donations will help KIDS ARE 1ST provide life saving solutions to a serious problem. Child passenger safety seats are effective only if a proper seat is used and the child is correctly restrained. The alarming statistics are that 9 of 10 children are not restrained properly while a passenger in motor vehicles
