You always want to keep your children close. But in a vehicle, your arms are the most dangerous place for your child to be. See what happens if your car stops suddenly at only 50 km/h

Speed and reckless driving cause death and horrific injury almost daily on Oman's roads and no matter how good a driver, no one is immune from the risk of being hit by another driver. Knowing this, are you doing everything in your power to protect your children? Or are you gambling with their lives daily by allowing them to ride unrestrained? 

Check out these guidelines on seating your children safely on every trip, no excuses. Or face a lifetime of regret like this devastated father : "I can no longer see the world clearly and every day is a blur of grief"
