Emergency Info Posted on Car Seat

This crossed my FB feed and makes sense.
The text with the photo: "I work in emergency services both at volunteer firehouse and in EMS and this is very important, I post it every few months to remind people to both do it and update it. Too frequently firefighters come upon a car wreck where the mom is unconscious and there are children in the car who are too young to speak or communicate anything useful to the rescue team. ADVICE: Place a sticker on each child's car seat providing information that can help rescuers. Include: child's name & DOB, parent's names, DOB & phone, emergency contact info, child's doctor, any medical issues and any medications. Please update this information as needed as well."
And to address passer-bys seeing your info: "I suggest either placing the information on the back of the seat, the bottom side, (not the very bottom since that's not noticeable), or covering the information sheet with a piece of plain paper with I.C.E written on it. every emergency worker should know what I.C.E stands for."
