Car Seat Safety Workshop

Are you expecting a baby and feel overwhelmed by the car seat options?
Are you not quite sure if your have got your children's car seats right?
Do you work with parents and feel unable to answer they car seat questions?
Or do you look after other people’s children and want to make sure that they are safe in your car?

The sad fact is that around 70% of all car seats are used incorrectly. That means that only three out of every ten children are actually sitting safely in the car.

I don’t think that car seat safety gets the attention it deserves in antenatal and parenting classes, or in childminder or doula training, etc. Yet it is vitally important, the 70% misuse rate results in around 20 deaths and 500 life-changing injuries in the UK every year. But it doesn’t have to be this way, many of these injuries can be prevented by using the right car seat and using it correctly.

Let me help you get it right and make sure that your children are safe on every car journey!

In this four-hour workshop you will learn:
- about the law
- how to choose the correct car seat
- how to fit the seat into the car
- how to fit the child correctly
- the most common errors 
- why rear facing is so important

Throughout the presentation, as well as tea, coffee and biscuits, there will be practical sessions where we will fit a variety of car seats on a demo rig, and I will answer any questions you may have. There will be car seats available to practice on, and you are also welcome to bring your own.
