CHILD SAFETY: a guide for parents.

Did you know that in New Zealand, 13,000 children under five years of age are hospitalised each year because of injuries and poisoning? Many of these admissions are avoidable.

CAR SAFETY- 3 to 5 years old

Ensure your child is always buckled in to her/his car restraint.

You will need to investigate the next stage of child car restraint at around 4 years of age when your child becomes too big for her car seat. If you purchase a booster seat, use it for every car ride..
