Traveling with children can be a daunting task, especially when it comes to ensuring their safety during the journey. At Didcot Taxis, we understand the importance of providing secure and comfortable transportation for families. This is why we offer specialized child seats in our taxis, making your family travel experience worry-free and enjoyable.
The Importance of Child Seats
Child safety in vehicles is non-negotiable. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), car seats reduce the risk of fatal injury by 71% for infants and by 54% for toddlers in passenger cars. These statistics highlight the critical role of child seats in safeguarding young passengers during travel.
Legal Requirements and Standards
In the UK, the law mandates that children must use a car seat until they are 12 years old or 135 cm tall, whichever comes first. These regulations are in place to ensure that children are protected in the event of an accident. At Didcot Taxis, we comply with all legal requirements and go a step further to ensure that our seats meet the highest safety standards.
Types of Child Seats Available
We provide a range of child seats to cater to different age groups and sizes:
- Rear-Facing Infant Seats: Ideal for newborns and infants up to 15 months old, these seats offer excellent support and protection for the youngest passengers.
- Forward-Facing Seats: Suitable for toddlers aged 9 months to 4 years, these seats provide enhanced safety with harness systems designed to distribute crash forces across the strongest parts of the body.
- Booster Seats: For children aged 4 to 12 years, booster seats ensure that the vehicle’s seatbelt fits properly over the child’s shoulder and lap, reducing the risk of injury in a crash.
