Your lap may be the most secure place for your child, but while travelling in a car, it could well be the most dangerous - with the absence of safety. Earlier Indian Automotive market was price-sensitive but now along with price, the safety rating is an important factor. Manufacturing brands have to compete with the cost & safety norms of their vehicle to survive in the market. One such major feature is 'Child Passenger Safety'.India has a very tenuous relationship with Road Safety. The condition of following 'Road Safety' rules can be judged on the dreadful number of road deaths in our country.Driving/Travelling with children can be fun, both for them and for you. But on top of the usual demands, you have an added responsibility to keep the kids safe on the go, which can lead to extra stress if you’re not sure what to expect. While you may not have any control over the other drivers, you can make sure that children are properly protected in your own car.Here are some simple steps to make sure children are safe at all times in and around vehicles:-1) Ensure your kids don't put their face/body out of the window while driving
