​Many parents not using car child restraints while travelling with children in cars: Survey

The Straits Times, page A4

Survey results published on Feb 25 by four final-year students from NTU's WKWSCI found that almost half of parents polled do not actively put their children in car restraints, even though most agreed that it was an important safety measure. The NTU students are promoting the use of appropriate child restraints for children aged up to 10 through a campaign titled The Safe Seat. The campaign is supported by KKH and includes partners such as the Automobile Association of Singapore. Undergraduate Gracia Ow, a member of the NTU group said: "We found the gap between ownership and usage of child restraints to be appalling and surprising, because it shows that parents are compromising on their children's safety over perceived barriers."
