Child Car Seat Workshops
Every year approximately 10,000 children (12 years or younger) are injured in traffic collisions in Canada. Surveys show that as many as one-third of Canadian children are not properly restrained when they are travelling in motor vehicles. The only way to protect children from the dangers of collisions or sudden stops is to restrain them properly. More
