š¶ Parents, grandparents, whÄnau - are the children in your car safe?

Most children are restrained when in a vehicle but experts report that around 80% of the restraints used are not installed correctly or are not appropriate for the child.
We've partnered with Upper Hutt Plunket and local restraint technicians to run car seat clinics at Upper Hutt Plunket in Logan St.
