Driving with children in the car without making sure they are properly restrained in a correctly-fitted child seat or seatbelt \u2013 even on the shortest of journeys \u2013 could have very serious consequences.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It is a sad fact that across the UK, more than seven out of ten seats are either incorrectly fitted or unsuitable for the car or the child. This means that many babies and children could be at serious risk of injury.\u00a0 Many of these injuries can be prevented if children travel in infant carriers, child seats or high-back boosters that are suitable for their height\/weight and are securely fitted in the car.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Seat belts on their own are less effective for children because they are primarily designed for adults.\u00a0 In a collision, a child can slip out of their seatbelt and an ill-fitting belt could even cause injuries.<\/p>\n

As part of the Good Egg In Car Safety Campaign, East Dunbartonshire Council will be hosting two local In-Car Safety Clinics.\u00a0 Clinic details are as follows:<\/p>\n
