National Good Egg campaign encourages awareness of child car seat safety
Wed, 28 Sep 2011

Bath and North East Somerset Council is encouraging parents and carers to find out more about child car seat safety as part of the national Good Egg campaign.

The aim of the campaign is to ensure that parents and carers understand the correct way to fit a car child safety seat so that babies and children are properly restrained while travelling by car.

The Good Egg is also an accreditation scheme for retailers to provide the best information on fitting and buying a child car seat. The wider awareness campaign provides an information guide and car clinics for parents and carers where an expert checks the fit of a restraint. The Council has organised two free car seat clinics which will take place in October.

Last year more than 100 checks took place during the two Council clinics and 43 per cent were found to have some sort of fault. Councillor Roger Symonds, Cabinet Member for Transport said: "The results of last year's checks hit home how important it is for parents and carers to check and double check their child's car seat. Bath and North East Somerset Council is very supportive of this national campaign."
