The Scottish Good Egg Guide to In-Car Child Safety

 OVERVIEW:
If properly restrained, when travelling by car, a child is 90% less likely to be killed in a collision. Recent campaigns and research, however, have highlighted that many child seats are incorrectly fitted and too many children are not restrained at all.

In a crash, these unrestrained children could injure or kill, not only themselves, but also other people in the car.

This guide has been designed to show you why properly-fitted restraints could be life-saving, and to give guidance on how to get the most suitable restraint for your child’s size and weight.

It will also outline your responsibilities and where you stand with regard to the law. Half of all crashes involving children happen on short trips to places like the shops or school. It could happen to any of us, so please make sure you keep your child safe.
