The following statistics are from their website:
South Africa has the highest motor vehicle accident rate in the world!
Each day 3 children die due to motor vehicle accidents, more are left critically injured, brain damaged or paralyzed.
Car accidents is the fourth leading cause for unnatural deaths in children in SA
84% of our children travel unrestrained on our roads!!
Isn't these statistics shocking!
Car seats reduce the risk of death in an accident by 71% in infants and 54% in toddlers, this is why we need to buckle up our children in car seats. Please read some of the articles on the Safe Laaities website on non car seat use.
How can you help this cause?
If you are a company you can donate in various ways. Contact mag@mommies.co.za for more info.
If you are an individual please head over to their website and sign the petition. Signing will enable Safe Laaities to approach government to pass a car seat law. To do this they need your signature!
Please help and support this cause, even if you just sign the petition. I already did.
