I avoid standing in the parking lot to buckle my kids. Not because I'm paranoid, but I'm closing opportunities for bad things to happen. Situational awareness is a way of life for us. It's not a hard rule — some spots are safer than others, and sometimes it's unavoidable. But when I have a choice, I choose to close that window. As a mom to 4 kids under 7 who refuses to stay home while he's working, I've spent years working on a system that builds safety into our routine without adding unnecessary stress. So I changed how I load my kids. Next up: the car seat setup that makes it possible (and yes, I'm a Certified Passenger Safety Tech, so it's done right too). 👀 This is part 1 of a mini-series on the small personal safety habits I practice when I'm out alone with the kids. Follow along — part 2 drops soon. #LEOfamily #CopWife #PersonalSafetyTips #CarSeatSafety #cpst
