The injuries of pre-school age appear because of the "avoidable" accidents. Although there are simple injuries in many times, the extent of death and disability cannot be underestimated. The goal of our study was the children who were 0-6 years of age and were admitted to the emergency for trauma between 1 January 2013 and 31 December 2013. We had 2403 patients who admitted during the study period, 1700 of them were given forms in the triage area, the forms of 1038 patients which were fully completed enrolled in this study. In our study the average age 34,57 (±0.63) months old, the ratio was 1.35 between male patients (n=598) and female patients (n=440). Injuries occurred most commonly at home and around the home. Falling at the same level-beating was the most common seen trauma. Head and neck injuries and upper extremity injuries were in the first two cases of the list and most of these injuries were minor injuries. We seen that the average pediatric trauma score was 10. Our findings about social-economic status and education of families were contrasts with the findings of existing literature. Children often middle-good-looking, and have educated parents
