​Many parents not using car restraints for kids

The New Paper, page 10

Survey results published last week by four final-year students from the NTU found that almost half of the parents polled do not actively put their children in car restraints, even though most agreed it was an important safety measure. Students from NTU's WKWSCI are promoting the use of appropriate child restraints for children aged up to 10 through a campaign called The Safe Seat. 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."
