Child care topic: safety in the car

1. Make sure the car seat installation conforms to ISOFIX.
2. Never let any child travel unrestrained. Always strap your child into her seat with the safety harness.
3. Never travel with your baby in your lap or your arms
4. If your car has air bags, do not put the baby seat in the front passenger seat. Children are always safer in the back seat.
5. If you have an accident, replace your seat belts, your child's car seat, and the seat's anchorage kit: they may have been damaged.
6. Never buy second-hand car seats, harnesses, or anchorage kits for the same reason.
7. Install a mirror on your wind-screen so that you can see your child without turning round.
8. Put a 'Baby on Board' sign on your back window.
9. Use a sun-blind when necessary
10. Use booster seats in the back seats for older children.
