4. Don't drink and drive. Don't let anyone else drink and drive.
5. Be smoke-free. Avoid smoking and second-hand smoke.
6. Fasten seat belts while driving or riding in a motor vehicle. Always buckle your child in the car using a child safety seat, booster seat, or seat belt according to the child's height, weight, and age.
7. Get exams and screenings. Ask your health care provider what exams and tests you need to help find diseases and conditions early or before they start.
