While “Buckle Up for Life” aims to protect all children, it began as a pro- gram that served the needs making sure parents under- stand the problem and fix it. “Buckle Up for Life” works with local children’s hospitals, organizations and About half of all children who die in car crashes were not sitting in a child car safety seat Dr. Victor Garcia, found- ing director of Trauma Services at Cincinnati Chil- dren’s Hospital Medical Center, one of the nation’s leading pediatric hospitals partnered with Toyota to help parents understand the importance of buckling up their children. A pediatric surgeon, Gar- cia has seen a lot of children suffering from car crashes where they were not proper- ly buckled up. That’s why Dr. Garcia and the Cincin- nati Children’s Hospital partnered with Toyota in 2004 to create “Buckle Up for Life,” a national educa- tion program for families to help keep child passengers of the Hispanic and African American Communities, working with children’s hospitals and community organizations such as churches to provide motor vehicle safety information to parents and caregivers. Since its inception in 2004, the program has edu- cated more than 17,000 individuals nationwide and provided funding for more than 40,000 car seats for families in need. This is important as studies show that about half of all chil- dren who die in car crashes were not sitting in a child car safety seat. But Dr. Gar- cia said the program is not about blame.

Research shows that car crashes are one of the lead- ing causes of children’s injuries and deaths. “Buck- le Up for Life” will help save lives, Garcia said. “I am grateful to Toyota.” Michael Fisher, President and CEO, Cincinnati Chil- dren’s Hospital Medical Center said the partnership and Toyota’s strong com- mitment is making the program a success. Fisher said he is deeply committed to addressing issues of importance to the Greater Cincinnati area. One of his priorities is reducing the area’s high rate of uninten- tional injury and infant mortality. Colon is a father and he said the program has become his passion. Although his children are teens now, he said he can remember how important it was to make sure they were safe while riding in cars.
