News & Information about Fire Safety For Kids

Carrying Children Safely In a crash at just 30 mph, an unrestrained child would be thrown forward with a force 30 to 60 times their body weight. They would be thrown about inside the vehicle, injuring themselves and quite possibly seriously injuring (or even killing) other people inside the vehicle.

They are also likely to be ejected from the car through one of the windows. It is not safe to hold a child on your lap. In a crash, the child could be crushed between your body and part of the car's interior. Even if you are using a seat belt, the child would be torn from your arms - you would not be able to hold onto them, no matter how hard you try. It is also dangerous to put a seat belt around yourself and a child (or around two children). The safest way for children to travel in cars is in a child seat that is suitable for their weight and size. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Type of Child Restraint Weight Range Approx Age Range Rearward-facing baby seat (1) Group 0 for babies up to 10 kgs (22 lbs) birth to 6-9 months Group 0+ for babies up to 13kg (29 lbs) birth to 12-15 months Combination seat Group 0+ - 1 0-18 kgs (20-40 lbs) birth - 4 years Forward-facing child seat Group 1 9-18 kgs (20-40 lbs) 9 months - 4 years Booster Seat (2) Group 2 15-25 kgs (33-55 lbs) 4 years to 6 years Booster Seat Group 2 and 3 15-36 kgs (33-79 lbs) 4 years to 11 years Booster Seat Group 1, 2 and 3 9-36 kgs (20-79 lbs) 9 months to 11 years Booster Cushion (2) Group 3 22-36 kgs (48-79 lbs) 6 to 11 years (1) Group 0 (0 � 9 kg) baby seats are no longer produced.
