Safety and Injury Prevention

Kohl’s Safety Program at Seattle Children’s

COVID-19 Update

Due to COVID-19, helmet and life jacket giveaways are now being offered by appointment only.

In partnership with Kohl’s Cares, we travel Washington state providing free helmet and life jacket fittings/giveaway events and educational demonstrations with our outreach team. We teach parents and kids how to properly fit every helmet and life jacket we give away. We also provide resources to teach you to fit safety devices where you are, whether in the community or at home.

See below for the dates and locations of our free giveaway events this year.

Free Giveaway Events

Due to COVID-19, our outreach team will practice physical distancing and use verbal cues and demonstration to teach parents/guardians how to properly fit their child with a helmet or life jacket. Masks are required.

We only fit children between the ages of 1 and 18 and they must be present in order to be properly fit and receive a helmet or life jacket.

2021 Event Dates

Everett:

Tuesday, April 27, 3 to 6 p.m., life jacket giveaway
Saturday, May 8, 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., life jacket giveaway

More dates will be posted soon, so please check back!

Getting the Proper Fit

A helmet or life jacket won't protect you if it doesn't fit correctly. Learn how to properly fit safety devices with your family. For instructions and additional tips, visit Bike and Multi-Sport Helmets: Quick Fit Check for helmets and Life Jackets for Children and Teens for life jackets.
