1. It's a legal requirement that babies and children are safely and comfortably restrained at all times in cars.
2. You should never just hold a baby in your arms, even on a short journey. Even a small impact could cause them a fatal injury.
3. A rearward facing baby seat is recommended for babies up to eight or nine months.
4. Once a child weighs over 10 kilograms, or twenty-two pounds, a forward facing car seat is recommended.
5. Babies should be belted into a baby safety seat that's correctly fastened to the back seat.
6. Young children should have a child harness provided on the back seat; adult sized seatbelts are too large for them and unsafe.
7. Children under 12 or who are less than 4'11" tall should always travel in the back of the car.
