Safe Kids

Recent research shows that children are less likely to correctly fit a seat belt when they are under 148cm tall. For a seat belt to correctly fit the child the belt should sit down low over their hips, and not cut into their neck. Their legs should also be able to bend comfortably over the edge of the seat.
