Road crashers every year cause thousands of child deaths and injuries, tragedies preventable with the proper use of child seats and baby restraints. Remember that just putting kids in the back seat is no guarantee of their safety, and that accidents occur even on short trips, at low speeds, and with the most careful of drivers. Here are a few reminders:
- Pregnant women should always wear a seat belt. Fears of fatal injury from seat belt pressure during an accident are unfounded. Research shows that a correctly worn seat belt is the best way to protect mother and baby from serious harm.
- Don’t allow two children, or an adult and a child, to share a seat belt.
- Follow manufacturers’ instruction when fitting child seats and restraints.
- Check that you have an approved brand and be especially careful when buying second hand equipment.
- Teach children to always wear seat belt or restraint in a moving car.
