Child Road Safety - using restraint systems to keep children safe and protected

The use of seat belts and child restraints is one of the most important actions that can be taken to prevent and reduce injury in a motor vehicle crash. Child restraints are also effective in reducing injuries that can occur during non-crash events, such as a sudden stop, a swerving evasive manoeuvre or a door opening during vehicle movement.

Infants and children need a child restraint system that accommodates their size and weight, and can adapt to cope with the different stages of their development. 

This course aims to raise awareness about appropriate child restraint systems and its effectiveness in reducing death and injury, as well as to provide information about safety standards, categories and regulations of car seats, and the elements that help protect children when using restraint systems.
