Your Child's Safety...

THE safest way for children to travel in cars is in a child seat that is suitable for their weight and size.

Even in a minor crash, an unrestrained child would be thrown about inside the vehicle, injuring themselves and others. They could be thrown from the car through one of the windows. Click on the links below for advice on keeping your children safe when they travel in cars.

In a crash at just 30 mph, an unrestrained child would be thrown forward with a force 30 to 60 times their body weight. They would be thrown about inside the vehicle, injuring themselves and quite possibly seriously injuring (or even killing) other people inside the vehicle. They are also likely to be ejected from the car through one of the windows.

It is not safe to hold a child on your lap. In a crash, the child could be crushed between your body and part of the car's interior. Even if you are using a seat belt, the child would be torn from your arms - you would not be able to hold onto them, no matter how hard you try.

It is also dangerous to put a seat belt around yourself and a child (or around two children).

From September 18th 2007, the law on child restraints changed. It is illegal to carry children without restraints excepting in some special circumstances.
Please also remember that the driver is held legally responsible for chilren under the age of 14.
