Don't put your child at risk.

Advice on how to ensure child car seats are fitted correctly will be available at road shows taking place across Wiltshire in September 2012.

Wiltshire Council Trading Standards will be holding a series of road shows starting on 4 September 2012, where a qualified consultant will be available to offer free child car safety checks and advice, as well as help with a range of other safety concerns people may have.

All are welcome to attend the road shows which will be taking place at the following locations between 10am and 3pm:

•4 September – Waitrose, Salisbury.

•11 September – Sainsbury’s, Devizes.

•18 September – Sainsbury’s, Chippenham.

•25 September – Tesco, Trowbridge.

Improper fitting of car seats is hugely dangerous and can lead to serious injury or death of a child involved in an accident.

Although this is common knowledge many people still have their seats incorrectly fitted without realising it.

It is also recommended that parents and carers take their baby out of the car seat when they get home, even if they are sleeping, as this will reduce the risk of sudden infant death.
