It used to take me several minutes of imploring, requesting, cajoling toget my 4 year old to put her seat belt on by herself. But after just two days at Safety Town, on the third day, she was the first one to buckle up on saying ‘Mommy, don't drive. I don't have seat belt on. It is not safe'. She still says that everytime we go out in the car. I highly recommend Safety Town to all parents of future kindergarteners.” 2013 Parent Testimonial
