Ahead of road safety week, Amy and Jen talk to two experts in car seat safety to get the key messages for you to pass onto parents.
I know I often talk with parents at the antenatal contact about what kit they have bought for baby, often they are keen to share with me their ideas or thoughts and often quite receptive to suggestions regarding safety.
When it comes to car seats, I am often out of my depth and struggle with what to tell them! There's huge variety in safety and mistakes with fitting to the car and fitting the child in the seat are common.
We are sure you will learn heaps from this discussion, just as we did. Thankyou to Margaret and Ron for all your time and passion - it really came across so strongly.
For more information see the resources on Margaret's website and Facebook page, listed below.
