Principal's have been asked to remind parents of the importance of using seat-belts and child restraints correctly.
Seat-belts can reduce the risk of being killed in an accident by up to 50% so it is essential that parents restrain their children in the correct way. The safest way for children to wear seat belts differs with age. By law, there is a specific way to restrain a child between birth and six months old; six months and four years old; four and seven years old; and over seven years old. The Road Safety Council and School Drug Education and Road Aware wish to remind parents that it is unsafe and illegal not to follow these practices.
