What is the WHALE Program?

The WHALE (We Have A Little Emergency) Program 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 can have a difficult time identifying any children riding in car safety seats. Sometimes, the adults may not be related to the child passenger; which makes obtaining important information about the child difficult or impossible. In such a situation, WHALE can make a considerable difference, possibly saving a life.

How does it work?

One Informational Label attached to the rear of the car seat provides important information about that child in the seat, such as name, date of birth, medical history, and who to contact in case of an emergency. If placed on the back of the seat, this label will not be visible from outside of the vehicle, thus ensuring the privacy of these personal facts.

Two WHALE Car Seat Stickers, attached to the sides of the safety seat, and two WHALE Vehicle Stickers, attached to the rear side windows of the vehicle, depict the WHALE logo and alert rescuers that the vehicle occupants participate in the program.

Even if the local emergency personnel or fire department does not implement the program, it is important that they are aware of the WHALE program, since participating passengers may travel through the area.

What is included in a WHALE Program Kit?

Each WHALE Kit includes the informational label, car seat and vehicle stickers, and a Program brochure with instructions for parents or guardians, all packaged in a clear plastic sleeve.
