Mini First Aid Mid Kent

Hot day car seat check ☀️

Before you strap your baby or child in, touch the buckle, straps and seat fabric with your hand.

If it feels too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for their skin.

What to do:
Air the car.
Cool the seat.
Wait before clipping them in.

To help stop it happening next time:
Park in shade where you can.
Use a windscreen shade.
Cover the empty car seat with a light towel or muslin when you leave the car.

Tiny check. Big difference.

What’s your best hot-weather car trick for little ones?

⚠️ Save and share this post! As UK temperatures rise this week, here is a reminder of the differences between heat exhaustion and heat stroke.

Please take care ☀️

FIRST AID WITH FREDDIE this summer holidays ☀️

Our play led, engaging and interactive first aid class is suitable for 3 - 6 year olds.

Does your little one have a natural affinity to help others and would enjoy learning about first aid?

I will be at:

Ditton Community Centre on 29th July at 10:00 for our First Aid With Freddie class - Places limited!

The session is 45 minutes and each child will receive their own:
