Child car seats

It's a worrying statistic, but recent surveys in the UK found that as many as 80% of children's car seats aren't fitted correctly. If properly restrained, children are 90% less likely to be killed in a collision.

Avon Fire & Rescue Service works with partners from a range of agencies to promote all areas of road safety, among them child car safety seats.

Our top tips for keeping your family safe are:

• Find out what seats are most suitable for your vehicle.
• Only buy a seat that carries the United Nations ECE R44.04 safety mark.
• Make sure your retailer has trained members of staff who can fit and check your seat.
• Always follow the manufacturer's instructions.
