Is your child sitting in the right seat for their age and size? Have you strapped them in correctly? Has your child car seat been installed correctly?
We all want to make sure our children are travelling as safely as possible. This can be tricky – there may be confusion about the appropriate child car seat for age and knowing when to move your child to the next level of child car seat.
Buckle-Up Safely is a child car seat program delivered by local Community Workers in 12 Aboriginal communities across NSW. The program aims to deliver key messages about travelling safely with children in vehicles by providing communities with resources on how we can keep our children safe and providing access to child car seats.
