RACV launches a new child restraint campaign - Every Child Under 8, Properly Restrained, Every Trip
Children in adult seat belts are 3.5 times more likely to sustain significant injury in a crash compared with children in a dedicated child restraint.
RACV's new child restraint awareness campaign is urging parents to keep their children in child restraints until the age of eight or until they are 140cm tall.
