Keeping children safe is our highest priority.

One of the main reasons so many child car seats are incorrectly fitted, is the confusion around what constitutes ‘safe fitting’ and its critical importance.

We see this confusion not only among parents and carers, but also among retail staff and those who have a statutory duty to ensure the safe transportation of children.

All want reassurance they are giving and receiving the right information, so it is not a lack of interest nor a lack of professional care that causes this problem but generally a lack of knowledge and an abundance of misinformation.

Our new Child Seat Training Programme is designed to end this confusion by simplifying the complex and shining a bright light on what constitutes ‘best practice’ above and beyond basic legal requirements.
