Car and Vehicle Safety

Over the past few years, the introduction of vehicle safety devices such as airbags, anti-lock brakes and stability control systems have made our vehicles safer places to be. However, despite these new introductions, it is also vital to provide additional protection for your children whilst they are in the car. Thousands of children are injured every year in car accidents; many of which could have been prevented by the use of a correctly installed car seat.

In this section, you'll find a guide to the child seat laws, the different types of child seat available, along with invaluable advice on how to install a child seat correctly. There's also a guide to personal safety whilst driving, with advice on how you can avoid being a victim of theft or other crimes whilst in your car.
