Take Your Seats!

Al Nisr Media, publishers of Aquarius, e+, 4men, Property, Friday, InsideOut and Wheels, has launched an awareness campaign to keep our children safe on UAE roads.

FAST FACT: 98% of children in the UAE do not travel in car safety seats. Seat belts save lives – so make sure your child is buckled in.

The single biggest killer of children between the ages of two and 14 in the UAE is motor vehicle accidents, with 63 per cent child deaths last year attributed to road accidents. Many of these deaths could have been prevented if children had been strapped into car seats or were wearing seat belts.

If your child has outgrown their booster seat and is now using a regular seat belt, check they are wearing it correctly.

The hip section of the belt should stretch below the hips – not across the abdomen – to avoid injuring internal organs.
