The focus of the program is to address the barriers of time and knowledge faced by pediatric practices in counseling and screening for child passenger safety. While the use of safety seats is common, misuse of safety seats is also common. When seats are not used as intended by the manufacturers, the safety features are compromised. Pediatric practices play an important role in addressing misuse by screening and educating families In fact, child passenger safety is the only AAP Bright Futures topic recommended for discussion at every well child visit. Practices can receive training, tools, and technical assistance at no charge. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vdh.virginia.gov\/content\/uploads\/sites\/39\/2025\/07\/VDH-Every-Ride-Safe-Ride-Flyer.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">See the ERSR flyer.<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 style=\"padding-bottom: 2px; margin-bottom: 2px;\">Training<\/h2>\n<p style=\"padding-top: 0px; margin-top: 0px;\">Every Ride Safe Ride training is a free 1.5-hour child passenger safety training.
