An appropriate car seat is compulsory for all children up to the age of 12 or under 1.35m. However, two-thirds of child car restraints in use are not fitted properly or checked regularly.
Saf Munshi, Communications Officer for Lancashire Partnership for Road Safety explains, “There are well over 100 different models of seats and they do not all fit every type of car or seat belt arrangement. Instructions are often ‘puzzling’ to follow and trying to fit the seats in a limited space doesn’t help. We are offering good practical advice to ensure that each seat is safely fitted for every journey giving confidence that you have done everything possible to save your child’s life in the event of crash.”
A free sunscreen will be given to everyone who takes part.
