Child safety in the car

Travelling with children in the car comes with great responsibility. However, did you know that keeping children rear-facing in their car seats, to the minimum age of four, is over five times safer than allowing them to travel forward-facing in a harness? 

In a collision at as little as 30mph, the forces exerted on the child's head, neck, and spine are 300kg in a forward-facing seat with a harness, as opposed to only 50kg in a rear-facing harnessed seat.

Join this North East of Scotland Branch online event to discuss how not all car seats are made equally. Led by Deborah Baulch.

This event is open to IOSH members and non-members.
