Seatbelts and child restraints

 
If you’re the driver of a vehicle, you are responsible for making sure everyone under the age of 15 is wearing a seatbelt or sitting in an approved child restraint. 
 
Using a correctly installed and age appropriate child restraint will reduce your child’s risk of injury or death in a crash.
 
Unrestrained passengers, animals and objects become missiles when there’s a crash. Seatbelts save lives.
