LV= insurance provider offers car seat warning

One in six car drivers are breaking child seat laws and putting their young passengers in danger, LV= insurance has found.

Research by YouGov on behalf of the car insurance firm also found that family friends are most likely to put their children at risk by flouting child seat laws.

Child seats reduce the risk of fatality by 71 per cent and drivers are required to fit all passengers under the age of 12 - or shorter than 135cm - with the safety equipment under law.

More than one in five (21 per cent) of those surveyed in the poll were not aware of legislation on car seat usage.

John O'Roarke, managing director of LV= Car Insurance, welcomed the introduction of child seat legislation in 2006 but added that many drivers are either confused about the law, or are not following it.

"We'd urge all drivers to make sure they're aware of the guidelines - child seats can take just five minutes to install and greatly reduce the chances of injury to everyone in the car," Mr O'Roarke said.

Liverpool Victoria was founded in 1843 and rebranded as LV= in March 2007.
