Did you know that in a crash at 30mph your body would be thrown forward with a force 40-60 times your own weight?
Even a super baby couldn't withstand this force
Adult seat belts aren't designed for children because they are proportioned differently and their bones are still developing.
Don't risk your child's life, never carry a child on your lap or use a single seat belt for two passengers, whatever their age.
You can best protect your children by putting them in a properly fitted seat which is appropriate for their weight and size.
Children must travel in a child car seat until they're 135 centimetres tall or 12 years old, whichever comes first.
However 7/10 seats are still failing our free safety checks because they are fitted incorrectly, are unsuitable for the child's age and weight, or are not compatible with the car.
Free safety check events will run from 10.00-3.30 in the car park outside the store, unless noted otherwise
