In the recent fatal accident in Sungai Rengit–Kota Tinggi, a child safety seat became a lifesaver when six-month-old baby Nur Laylaa Batrysha survived despite both her parents perishing in the crash, reminding us of the crucial importance of using a CRS in vehicles. Pix credit: Police.

International studies show that properly installed CRS can reduce infant mortality rates by up to 71 percent, while for children aged one to four years, the mortality reduction rate reaches 54 percent. Small picture on the left (MIROS Director, Assoc Prof Ir. Ts. Dr Siti Zaharah Ishak).

When a child is accustomed to sitting in a children safety seat from day one, it becomes a routine that builds a sense of security and love.

It is safe to say that the safety of children is not something that can be postponed. It is not a matter of lawsuits, but of responsibility and love.
