My wife & I were shopping at Babies "R" Us™ and they
had the handouts and W.H.A.L.E™ Kits on an information table.
After reviewing the program from the information, I was sold!!! The
more research I did, justified the creation of a website.
Why
a Website?
The purpose of this site is to centralize all the different
W.H.A.L.E™ Programs. Over half the states have programs in
place, but no centralized data base of the information. I
have developed this website to do just that. As this site
grows, and new programs are added, I will update the site
with the new information.
A Little Background?
This car seat safety program was developed by Connie Day, a
caregiver from Virginia. In the event of an automobile
accident that incapacitates the adult driver and passengers,
rescue personnel will have a difficult time identifying
children riding in car safety seats. In some situations,
these adults may not be related to the child passenger;
therefore, conventional means of obtaining information will
be useless. In these cases, W.H.A.L.E™ can make a significant
difference.
Through the use of an informational label, which
is placed on the back of a child car safety seat (Out of
plain view), and W.H.A.L.E™ vehicle and car seat stickers, which
are placed on the rear windows of the car and on the sides
of the car seat, this program provides rescue personnel with
pertinent information about children riding in the car seats
who are involved in automobile accidents.
This information
includes name, address, how to contact next of kin, and
important medical needs. The whale program is a sensible and
easy way to ensure that child car safety seat passengers
involved in auto accidents receive the best and most
efficient care possible.
