The Injury Prevention team at Kapiʻolani wants to help keep kids safe. Dedicated team members talk to people in the community and teach them how to avoid getting hurt. They also work with Kapiʻolani Trauma Services to help kids who get injured, no matter if it’s something small or something more serious.

By learning how to stay safe, we can all help make sure fewer kids have to go to the hospital because of injuries.

Is your child in the right car seat? Car crashes are the leading cause of death for children ages 1-12 in the United States. The best way to protect children is to put them in the right car seat for their age and size, and follow product instructions.

You can get your car seat checked by a certified child passenger safety technician at our free in-person or virtual car seat checkups.

Appointments are required. Please call 808-527-2588 for dates and times.
