 Always put your baby in a properly fitted seat, suitable for his age and weight.

 Be sure the car seat is genuinely a safe one. It should have a British Standard Kitemark or United Nations Standard Regulation 44.03 and is the one piece of equipment you shouldn’t buy second-hand unless you know its history (i.e. no accidents) and have the instructions. For information on choosing the right car seat and fitting it correctly go to www.thinkroadsafety.gov.uk or www.childcarseats.org.uk.

 Never fit an infant car seat in the front seat of a car with air bags. The back seat is the safest place (unless your car is, freakishly, without back-seat seatbelts).

 Never ever take your baby out of the car seat when the car is moving, even if he is purple in the face and bellowing and your pulse is racing. We have all been tempted to do this but it’s extremely dangerous. Always pull over somewhere safe before you get him out.
