Southern

Dunedin Police have helped to keep our tamariki safe today with a successful operation to promote safe and correct use of child restraints.

Between 11am and 2pm today Dunedin road policing staff, along with Plunket car seat technicians, were set up in the north Dunedin Warehouse and Pak‘nSave carpark.

The focus was to help reduce injury and death on our roads by raising public awareness on how to correctly use child restraints.

In today’s checkpoint 115 car seats were checked and Police found that 70 percent of the child restraints weren’t being used properly.
