Car seat safety guide

If there is one single item that is essential for all babies, it is a car seat. Even if you don’t own a car, you will need a seat for when you are travelling in other people’s cars.

You will need it from day one - in fact, some hospitals won’t allow you to leave the premises until you have got a car seat to transport your most precious cargo safely home.

Babyworld provides a "by appointment" car seat fitting service. Our experienced staff have received special training with the car seats that we sell and many have young children of their own. If you are unsure as to whether a car seat will fit into your car you should always "try before you buy".
To make an appointment please call 01491 821290.

Having bought it - use it. Studies have shown that a staggering eight out of ten child car seats are not properly fitted and 90 per cent of child road deaths could be prevented if children were strapped in to well-fitted seats.

In 2006 the child car seat laws changed - make sure you're up-to-date with these as you face a fine of £500 if you don't comply - see What the law says, below.
