The Council is offering free “Car Seat Clinics” during half term. This is part of the national Good Egg safety campaign. Parents and carers can bring their car and car seat along and the Good Egg expert will check the fitting of the seat and give advice about whether it is correctly installed – free of charge!

By law, car seats need to be used for all children from birth until age 12 or until a child is 135cm in height. Parents and carers are also being encouraged to check the date of manufacture of their car seat – the products have a shelf life of between 5-7 years.

The clinics are on Monday 25th October at the Green Park Sainsbury’s in Bath from 10.00 a.m. to 3.00 p.m. (Pines Way, Green Park, Bath, BA2 3ET); and on Wednesday 27th October at Tesco in Midsomer Norton from 10.00 a.m. to 3.00 p.m. (Old Mills, Midsomer Norton, BS39 7SW).
