Choosing a car seat for you baby?

If you are a frequent traveller and use a private car or taxi, it is important to travel safe with your children and choose quality and safe car seat that can save your kid’s lives!

In Singapore, since Jan 1, 2012, kids below height 1.35cm must be secured in child restraints, booster seats or adjustable seat belts while travelling in a vehicle. Infants should be placed in a rear-facing infant capsule in the back seat if their weight up to 10 kg and below 9 months of age.
