With 27% of parents confused about car seat safety, according to surveys, Cornwall Trading Standards and Fire and Road Safety are offering free community car seat safety checks.

A trained Road Safety Officer will complete a car seat safety check, which will take approximately 10 minutes, and share some road safety advice. Trading Standards will also be on hand to promote child product safety advice.

Cornish residents who travel with babies and primary school aged children are welcome to pop along to the events taking place between 9.30am and 3pm. The nearest to South East Cornwall are on March 22 at St Stephens Community Academy, Roydon Road, Launceston, Cornwall, PL15 8HL or on March 28 at St Austell Children’s Centre, Woodland Road, St Austell, Cornwall, PL25 4RA.
