Use A Child Car Seat and Drive Safe!

Children riding in a car must use a child car seat until they are 6 years old according to the law. Please choose the right child car seat based on your child’s age and weight and use it correctly. In a crash at 40km per hour, the car crash force is 30 times of the passenger’s body weight. If you were holding a child10 kg in a car crash, the crash force would be 300 kg, which means you would be unable to keep a hold of your child securely.
