Car Seat "In Case of Emergency" Contact Sheet

While driving home in the hail last weekend (hailing in Washington in October, say what??), I was almost t-boned by  an impressive looking truck. The driver was obviously more concerned about the contents of the truck cab than ensuring stop signs were obeyed. After watching the truck go speeding through the intersection, narrowly missing me and Baby A, my mind went along the natural course of "what if?"

What would happen to Baby A if our car had been hit and I was unconscious or dead? What if my cell phone was destroyed in the crash, how would the EMT's know who to contact? What would happen to her? I couldn't rely on my cell phone or wallet to be available but I knew Baby A would have her car seat at all times. I needed to make something that would attach to her car seat and something that would attach to Miss K's booster seat. Off I went to think of ideas...

During my thinking process, a close friend pinned this idea and I knew it wasn't just coincidence. I started to design an emergency contact info sticker for Baby A and Miss K. Once I started, my scrapbooking side reared it's overbearing head and I changed into the below contact sheets.

I printed the contact information on plain white paper, cut it out with fancy scissors and then glued the sheet down to colorful printed paper I had in my scrapbooking box. With the bright colors these should catch eyes quickly in an emergency situation.

Once they were assembled, I used clear contact paper to attach my colorful I.C.E sheets to the car seat and two booster seats. Voila!

Simple, easy, and one more worry I won't have when I escape a terrible accident! Although next time around I will make the sheets just a little bit smaller. They fit onto the booster seat but a 3" x 4" information portion would have been even better. Love them and so does Miss K.
