You may be able to transport a child for emergency care if:

• The child is awake and responding (response may be slow or confused).
• The child is breathing without problems.
• Two adults are present so that one can drive safely and the other can care for the child.
• The child does not have a head, neck, or back injury.

In some communities, it may always be best to call an ambulance for safe and quick transport because of traffic and distance to health care.
