ID CARDS FOR KIDS: Specially trained professionals take photographs and fingerprints of children 3 and older and gather vital information to include on an ID card that parents and caregivers can reference in an emergency. Neither Illinois State Police nor the Illinois Tollway keeps this information in a database.

SAFETY SEAT INSTALLATION: Certified child passenger safety technicians inspect child safety seats and help with proper installation. To participate, parents, grandparents and caregivers should bring child safety seats, children and the vehicle in which the child safety seats will be installed. Information on recalls and recall detection, correct positioning, correct sizing to protect the child most effectively, plus additional safety information and resources will be offered at these events.
