Road crashes main cause of child death in UAE
Traffic accidents are the main reason of death among children,
responsible for killing 63 per cent child aged 14 and younger in the UAE.
Although this is a main issue in the UAE , only one law has been passed saying
that children ten years and older can sit in the passenger seat wearing a seat
belt, yet 28 per cent continue to do this. The time has come for authorities to
make a solution towards child seat safety. A very small percentage of child
passengers are restrained by car seats or seat belts, 96 per cent of children
in the UAE are not seated properly. Child car seat can reduce risks by 50-75
per cent and absorb the actual crash force and at the same time take it away
from the child. The child stays in the seat so they aren’t ejected. Today there
are a lot of car seats to fit the different ages of children. RTA is trying to
solve the problem and reduce the number of children killed by car crashes.
