People in developing countries such as Pakistan, Bangladesh & India doesn’t care which seat should be given to children while travelling on car, this results in deaths of hundreds of children each year.
Children under the age of 5 should always use ‘five-point harness car seat’ which is easily available in the market at reasonable price. But most parents are unaware about this, in developed countries there are laws ensuring child safety but in most parts of the world people don’t know anything about car safety.
Another important point is that children should be seated in the rear and not in the front seat, this also reduces the risk of injury and protects the child.

Another alarming study revealed that even in countries such as USA and UK where parents use specially designed seats for children are unaware of the proper use of these seats. It found that more than 95% parents failed to use these seats in the best manner.
