W.H.A.L.E. (We Have A Little Emergency) car seat and That’s Using Your Head bicycle helmet emergency identification programs are intended to give parents and caregivers tools to help emergency rescue efforts go more smoothly.

W.H.A.L.E stickers, placed on the child’s seat and on the car windows, include the child's name, medical history and relevant names and telephone numbers.

That’s Using Your Head is a sports helmet identification program designed to provide identification to emergency personnel in the event of an injury or emergency. That’s Using Your Head stickers help with emergency identification and medical safety information in a crisis situation.

Children’s Medical Group-Bayshore Pediatrics provides both W.H.A.L.E. and That’s Using Your Head packets to local police and fire departments for distribution during car seat installations and to parents and children through clinic visits, day care centers and preschools.
