Many Whanganui children are travelling in unsafe car seats according to Plunket specialists out working with police and Horizons Regional Council staff yesterday.
The team were stopping drivers in York St yesterday morning and Plunket volunteer Michelle Whittaker said a number of the seats she checked were not fitted correctly.
Grandmother Pam Lane said she was glad she got pulled over and discovered that the seat in her car was not correctly fitted.
"My granddaughter hasn't used it yet so I'm glad to get some expert help from Michelle," she said.
Ms Whittaker is a car seat technician who runs her own baby products business in Victoria Ave when she is not working as a Plunket volunteer.
