No child should die of choking. Yet every day children choke, and every year hundreds die and thousands land in emergency departments. The Children’s Trainer was developed to educate parents and teachers, as well as children themselves, to learn these simple life-saving techniques. Use this Trainer to teach yourself and everyone you know, and help make the world a little safer for children.
Educating The Next Generation
For Act+Fast, saving lives it what it’s all about. Our goal is to promote choking rescue education by making it easy and fun, and help save lives by empowering people with the skills and knowledge needed to respond to any choking emergency.
Now, following requests from instructors, parents, grandparents, and safety professionals worldwide, Act+Fast introduces the new Children’s Trainer, specifically designed for children ages 5-11, and adults who want to keep children safe.
The Children’s Anti Choking Trainer Single comes with an attachable back slap pad, 30 foam plugs ( 20 for Advanced Students, 10 For Beginners), a User Manual, a Choking Prevention and First Aid for School Age Children Instructional Guide, and a nylon carry-bag.

Instructional Guide
In order to reduce the chances of injury and death from choking, each Children’s Trainer comes with a Choking Prevention and First Aid Instructional Guide by international authority, Ted T. Crites, CHES, which focuses on prevention strategies; knowing what to do when a choking emergency occurs and how to effectively use the Children’s Trainer.

Students will be able to:
- Identify common choking hazards for children.
- Describe ways to reduce choking risks.
- Recognize the signs of choking in children.
- Know when to call 9-1-1 in a choking emergency.
- Explain how to give first aid to a conscious child.
- Know all follow-up medical care protocols.
- Successfully demonstrate choking rescue skills.

FAQ
Can kids use the Children’s Trainer?
This Trainer has been designed for children ages 5-11. There have been documented cases of kids as young as 5-years-of-age successfully performing the Abdominal Thrust Maneuver and saving lives. It can also be used by adults, with a child wearing the Trainer, or for practice on a manikin.
Are the Foam Plugs reusable?
Yes. If you lose them and need to replace them, they can be ordered separately.
How durable is the Children’s Trainer?
It is very durable, made of high quality neoprene (wet-suit material), and should last many years with frequent use.
How should I clean the Children’s Trainer?
Simply remove the PVC bladder and airway assembly, and hand-wash the neoprene vest using a mild detergent. Hang to air dry.
Does the Children’s Trainer come with a warranty?
Yes, there is a full 1 year warranty. If you have a problem, you may contact us at [email protected].
If I am having difficulty with my Children’s Trainer, who do I contact?
You may email our customer service department at: [email protected]
How should abdominal thrusts be given?
Abdominal thrusts should be given upward quickly without force in the area above the navel and below the ribcage to expel the object so the person can breathe. Each thrust should be given separately and distinctly. It is important not to squeeze the ribcage when giving abdominal thrusts; this will lessen the likelihood of injury to the chest and ribcage. Proper technique is more important than using force. Using force may cause injury. The Act+Fast Children’s Trainer allows you to practice the proper technique to release the foam plug (Foreign object), in a safe but realistic training simulation.
If someone’s airway has been cleared with abdominal thrusts, and they appear to be okay, do they need to see a doctor?
Abdominal Thrusts, even when performed correctly, can cause injury. A foreign object can cause damage that may cause the airway to swell and restrict breathing. This may not happen quickly and may occur over a period of time. For those reasons, a person who has choked, or has been given abdominal thrusts, should be evaluated by a medical professional as soon as possible.
