Make child car seats compulsory, govt urged

Research and surveys prove car seats reduce risk of child death by 71% for infants and 54% for children aged one to five.

IPOH: The Government has been urged to introduce legislation to make it compulsory for cars to install baby seats when ferrying infants and young children.
Malaysian Consumers Association (Maconas) secretary-general said it was imperative that such measures be made compulsory to help save lives of young children.
Referring to a two-vehicle crash on May 2 at the Duke (Duta Ulu Kelang Expressway) Highway (in Kuala Lumpur), where a man, wife and their seven-month-old daughter were killed after being flung out of their vehicle, he said, “Had the infant been strapped securely in the baby car seat, perhaps her life could have been saved,” he said in a statement today.
Amarjit said thousands of vehicles were driven daily and children ranging from infants to five years of age were at risk as they were seated in the rear without proper restraints.
The Ipoh-based lawyer said according to a survey, statistics showed that baby car seats reduced the risk of death by 71% for infants, and by 54% for children aged one to five.
