What is the most important thing you might carry in your vehicle?
Maybe some valuable jewellery?
Maybe a pet?
Maybe a loved one?
Most would say a loved one or even a child!
So why would you deliberately place a child at risk by placing them in the front seat of a vehicle?
It is against the law to place a child under 7 in the front seat of a vehicle (where there are rear seats available) so why do we still see children under this age in the front, there is No excuse, They don’t get to argue and they are under your care, they TRUST YOU to keep them SAFE.
A child seat in the rear of the vehicle is the best place for children they are properly restrained and secured
Most car manufacturers don’t’ recommend children under the age of 12 be seated in the front seats due to the risk of the air bags deploying.
The excuse of “I was only going to the shop” or “I only have a short distance to get home” really doesn’t count.
Yes we live in a small community and we know the area BUT we also live in a tourist community where people visiting our area Don’t know the town and in many cases are far too busy looking around to be properly concentrating on the road ahead. We have all encountered the tourist pulling up suddenly in the road to take that photo or let a bird fly off.
Don’t let it be you trying to blame someone else when your child gets injured because you needed to stop suddenly and they were improperly secured.
Remember PROPER CHILD RESTRAINTS MATTER!
It’s Your Responsibility
