I just read this in The Star online - Parenting Section. A personal story from a reader on the importance of a carseat.

yeap

luckily for me, my sister bought one for me as a present. this carseat is the type that can attach to a stroller.

i only started to bring my son out after he's around 2 and half month. but only to parks or relative house. no supermarket or shopping complexes.

as the kids grow a different kind of seats needed from baby to toddler and young child above 4 yrs old

correct, also the seating angle varies with age

Another reason for kids to be buckled up..for her age..8 years old..should be using a booster seat. And..i wont be surprised if she was standing or movign about..just like how we see in vehicles..kids jumping here and there.

Even if you have rotan in the car..it won't be effective as the porsche driver rammed the toyata unser from the back..i hope those parents who claims that the use rotan to make sure the kids sit quietly see the importance of the carseats.

Some people don't use seat belts and don't use car seats for their kids. Yet kids all grown up and everybody still alive.

The question is - do you feel as lucky? Better safe than sorry.

i deem it a necessity

like riding motorcycle, its not like everyday you gonna crash so why bother with the helmet?

Try find convertible car seat, can used up to 32kg (approximately 4years old)

Previous experiences on near missed, crazy toyota camry overtake at corner, i pumped brake very hard, luckily baby is buckle up at the car seat, sleep comfortably eventhough her mom & dad heart beat wants to explode already...I'm using recaro proride,purchased at recaro dealer sunway.

Please do not compromised on safety.

child seat aside,

heard pregnant ladies can be excused from carseat? anyone can verify? this is useful if mummy is feeling discomfort, but i think should not be encouraged

Chester do you mean seatbelt?

I used seatbelt till the day i delivered..and I was overdue for a week plus

mine since new born in car seat...now 1 year old still using car seat..my mom bought for baby gift..from new born to 3-4 years old

I also using car seat...

Yes, i actually mean seatbelt for pregnant ladies..wondering if there's a law that pregnany ladies not compulsory to wear seat belt?

Car seat is very important. We will never know when the driver will push on emegency brake and when you are losing grip during emergency. if you think your child will be bored during the journey, talk and interact to him, bringing some toys in the journey would be useful.

if you are looking for car seat online, beware of this seller:

I don't recall any law..but why risk your life and baby's life by not wearing the belt? just put the belt below the tummy..not over the tummy if it's uncomfortable.

some car seat can be use as a baby carrier for baby less than 4 or 3 months...
after tat u can find for other seat..
is better buy a cheapo stroller.. or don buy stroller..
but if u r bring ur baby out wif car..
car seat is a mz
