Episode 24: Car Seat Safety

What are the laws around baby & child car seats? When should you switch to a forward-facing seat? When can your child sit up front with you? We might think we know the answers to these questions but this Family Health Podcast episode is here to dispel any doubts and give you the straight-up facts about car seat safety for your little ones.

In this episode, we chat with Luisa Rollins-Svenson, Consumer and Trade Marketing Manager at Graco UK who has a wealth of knowledge about car seat rules, regulations and best practices. No more guessing and googling if what your children are sitting on is safe and legal!
