C.H.A.D.  Children Have An iDentity

The CHAD safety seat child identification program was developed as a result of a traffic crash involving a 13-month-old boy named Chad. The babysitter who was driving was killed. Chad was injured, but no one at the scene could determine his identity. Only because an emergency room nurse recognized him could his parents be quickly located and his injuries be treated.

To ensure rapid identification of children in emergencies, parents and guardians of small children are encouraged to fill out the information on the sticker and place it on the right front corner (child's right), under the cushion or center back of the child's safety seat.

Posts throughout the nation distribute these stickers bearing the T.P.A. logo to local police, emergency medical services, pre-schools, PTA groups, pediatric wards for newborns, day care centers, and any other organization interested in the safety of children.

T.P.A. posts educate emergency personnel in their communities about the CHAD stickers so that they know to look for one when a child is involved in an accident.
