Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps he is taking to inform parents on (a) laws on child car seats and (b) how to fit and use those seats correctly.

Rules 99 and 100 of the Highway Code outline the rules and legislation as to seat belt use. The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accident (RoSPA) website provides advice and information about child car restraints to parents and others who transport children in cars, and to professionals and practitioners who help such people. During the first two quarters of 2017/18, the website received over 878,000 page views and downloads. The grant funding that the Department provides to RoSPA is partly used to maintain the website. www.childcarseats.org.uk. Child car seats should be correctly fitted according to the manufacturer's instructions.
