SAFETY is ill ways uppermost in par­ ents’ minds when it comes to their chil­


dren’s welfare. From being babies


we worry and wonder about them and do all we can to keep them s a fe , h a p p y and healthy. . But bringing up chil­ dren is also amazingly expensive and the num­ ber of items you need for one small bundle of love can come as a bit o f a shock to the system. So, it’s not surprising that parents are always looking for ways to save money, especially these days with the recession not exactly making life easy. But one area where


you shouldn’t cut cor­ ners is where your child’s safety is con­ cerned — and when you come to purchasing a child’s car seat it needs to be one of your most important buys. Many parents scour


car boot sales to buy a car seat at a knock- d o w n p r i c e . But,

tempting as it may be to buy or borrow a used seat to save money, it isn’t worth the risk.


Statistics show that


10,000 children are killed or injured in car accidents in this coun­ try every year. But research has also

proved that if a child is in a restraint suitable for his or her age and weight, the chances of a fatal accident are reduced by a stagger­ ing 90%.

bald tyres for your ear so why compromise on car seat safety? Old seats actually lose their ability to protect. In an accident the webbing of


harness straps absorbs the impact, but on a seat that’s already been in an accident, the web­ bing is stretched and weakened, reducing its a b i l ity to p ro vide protection. And second-hand


seats rarely, if ever, come with the original f itting instructions which means there's a good chance thev won’t be fitted correctly. A British Standards


Institution survey revealed that more than 50% of parents actually don’t fit seats properly. It’s I lighten­ ing but true that car seats have been seen held in place with ropes, luggage straps, even sellotape! Also remember that


second-hand scats may have pieces missing that aren’t immediately obvious, but without them the seat can prove dangerous. So the message is


clear — always buy a new car seat for your child. It only needs the one chance to prove that it works correctly. A few useful tips to


remember when buying your new seat are to make sure it is suitable for the child’s weight — the instructions will clearly explain this. It should carry the safety standard mark, be firmly fitted, and the child should be pro­ perly secured on even the shortest journey. • I f you need more advice, manufacturers Britax have a consumer helpline (02(14 333343) which gives informa­ tion on buying and fit­ ting seats.


4. Before you buy the seat check how easy it is to use the buckle mechanism and adjust the straps.


6. If you are installing your car seat using a rear seat belt then make sure that the seat belt buckle is not resting on the car seat frame, could burst open.


In an accident it


8. Never buy a second-hand car seat as vou do not know whether it has been involved m a car acci­


. Make sure that the car seat harness is altered to fit snugly over the child every time you use the car seat. You should just he able to slip two fingers under the straps on your child’s chest. And check that the straps are not twisted.


9. If you do not have rear seat belts then look out for a tar seat that can he installed with a fitting kit.


dent. Also there could he parts missing and there are unlikely to he any fitting instructions.


10. If in doubt about any aspects of choosing, fitting or using a car seat then please contact the Britax Customer Service Department on 0204 333343.


3. Think about your hlestyle and what vou need most from a car seat. If vou do a lot of long distance motoring and your child sleeps on the journey then you might want to choose a car seat with a recline mechanism. If you mainly make short journeys and you need to move the seat quickly from one car to another then you might choose a hghterwoight seat that is simple to install.


o. When the car seat is installed, check that vou can­ not move it from side to side. There should he no movement in a correct installation.


2.. Head the fitting instructions carefully before you attempt to fit the seat.


1. Belore liuvine your car seat chuck the weight ol your child. Car seats are designed to suit the weight rather than the age of a child.
