In an international survey conducted by WHO it was revealed that child safety in cars is neglected by most parents.

This is what LTA's Media Liaison Officer Ratu Eroni Volavola said prompted them to launch a month long campaign at making sure children under the age of eight are properly secured while travelling in vehicles.

Volavola said LTA laws clearly state that children under eight cannot sit in the front seat and must be secured in an authorized standard child safety seat.

However, Volavola adds they cannot force every parent to purchase these safety seats as they are expensive, and has given this advice for parents.
