For parents with small children, do not forget to install a suitable child safety-seat.
The installation must be done correctly to ensure it fits its purpose. Among the common mistakes made are:
- Seat is not installed correctly or too loosely fixed.
- Seat unsuitable for the child’s age, weight and height – for example, a three year-old child in an infant’s safety-seat, or using a booster seat.
-Seat is installed correctly but the infant or the child is not seated properly or securely.
-Child is seated properly and securely but the seat is not installed.
- Parents feeling that it is enough if the child is securely seated in the seat.
- Fastening the safety-belt wrongly – some seats require the safety-belts to be aligned to the child’s size.
- Using damaged safety-seat.
Do not take this list for granted even on a short journey.
Ensure your children and their seats are correctly and securely installed.
