Why did the Ministry extend the child safety seat requirements to more drivers, including grandparents and caregivers?
Research shows motor vehicle collisions are the leading cause of injury and death for children and youth. Statistics Canada states that non-parental care is provided to about 40 per cent of all children less than five years of age. Properly used child safety seats and booster seats can significantly reduce the chance of children being hurt and/or killed in collisions. That is why it is so important to make sure children are protected on every trip.
