SAFETY TIPS

  • Babies should not sleep in car seats and if they fall asleep transfer them as soon as possible
  • Children under 2 should have a rear facing seat for safety
  • Airbags must be turned off when child is in the front
  • Babies should not be in a seat for more than 2 hours
  • You should be able to see your baby at all times

CHOOSING A CAR SEAT

  • All baby seats in the UK should be EU approved. Look for the “E” mark label on the seat
  • Aim to get an I-Size seat as they are the new specification for safer baby seats
  • Try a few seats in your car before making a decision
  • Will the seat fit in all cars your baby will go into, check for isofix
  • Second hand baby seats are not recommended
  • Think about how you will be using the car seat, will you need a base that stays in the car
