In Car Safety - Children's Car Seats
Choosing the right seat for your car is very important. Every year over 1200 children are killed or seriously injured on the roads of the UK whilst travelling in cars.
In September 2006 the Government passed a law which makes it an offence for children under 12 years of age or 135cms in height to travel in a car without the appropriate restraint.

The In Car Safety Centre is staffed by trained Road Safety personnel who give consistent independent advice on the best seat for your needs. They are open from 1pm - 2.30pm on Tuesdays and 10.30am - 3pm on Fridays (except Bank Holidays).
The service is offered by Essex County Council and is completely free so there is no reason why should not take advantage of it.
Please note: They do not fix ISOFix seats

The latest form of school transport is the Walking Bus. It comprises at least two parent volunteers, acting as ‘driver’ and ‘conductor’, and a line of school children. The pupils are escorted to school along a set route, picking up more ‘passengers’ at bus stops along the way.
