If there is one single item that is essential and a legal requirements
for all babies, it is a car seat.
- Remember to choose a seat according to the weight of your
child, not his age.
- From the very first trip, use a child seat every time.
- Don't buy a second-hand car seat unless you know, for certain, that
it has never been in any sort of accident - there may be defects and
cracks on the frame and/or bodywork which you just can't see.
- If an airbag is fitted do not put the baby on the front passenger
seat. There have been cases of babies being killed by an airbag.
- It is illegal to place a baby in the front seat of a car without a
suitable car restraint.
