RACV - Free Lanyard - Check Keys Check Kids Campaign - VIC Residents Only

480

Heard about this on the radio.

Free lanyards from RACV shops or order online - Available to Victorian residents only


RACV’s Check Keys Check Kids campaign aims to remind parents about the dangers of children being locked in cars, particularly on hot days. This campaign focusses on incidents where children have been accidentally locked into cars, to help reduce these incidents.

RACV attends an average of four incidents a day where children have been locked into cars. The majority of these are accidental and can happen to anyone, anytime, anywhere.

Tips to avoid locking your children in the car:

  • Wind windows down in case the car automatically locks.
  • Never let children play with keys as they can accidentally lock the car.
  • Avoid distraction when loading and unloading the car.
  • Have an easy way to hold on to your keys, such as using RACV’s free lanyard, to avoid an accidental lockout.

Lanyards are available free of charge from RACV shops or by completing the order form.

    I cannot believe we need a campaign to tell people not to lock kids in cars.

      Sadly we need a campaign for everything these days.

      Never ever underestimate the stupidity of people. I'm buggered if I can work out when and how so many of us become so stupid.

      I guess if it is not in your facebook feed then you are totally unaware of what is going on.

      • If you haven't seen it, the movie idiocracy is worth a watch

    • People complain about a nanny state but that fact of the matter is, people are stupid.

    If a child dies in a car because of the hot weather, life sentence without parole.

    And if emergency services personnel retrieve your child/children from a car, minimum $10,000 fine.

    That is how you might stop children being locked in cars.

    • A podcast called Breakdown recently covered a trial about this in the US.

  • What happens if you find your lanyard but not your kids?? Will RACQ help?

    • Do like free stuff though, so definitely an upvote.
