‹ Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Road Accidents. Infants travelling in front seats
Summary
Flaherty raised the practice of carrying infants in front seats and asked about research and public guidance. The Minister expressed concern and appealed to parents to use common sense, but did not commit to a prohibition.
Is the Minister aware of the growing practice among parents to carry the infant, often in a polystyrene seat, in the front seat of the car? Has the Minister any research information, either of his own or made available to him on this matter? Have the Department made any public statement on this practice?
Comment on this
Yes, we would be alarmed and concerned at the practice of children sitting in the front of the car.
