Is your child’s car seat installed and ready to go for your next drive? Balik kampung (Chinese New Year) is next week. With more traffic on the roads there will sadly be more accidents.
Secure your child in a car seat every time you use your vehicle. Surveys tell us that one in three crashes occur within one mile from home. Share this post with your family to show them the importance of car seats for babies and children. Adult seat belts are designed for adult sized bodies and will not protect your child from harm in an accident.
Take care on the roads and have a safe and happy holiday season. Gong Xi Fa Cai!
