Between 1990 and 2015, between 1 in 3 and 1 in 2 children who died in Spain due to external causes were victims of road traffic accidents. More recently, the Spanish General Directorate of Traffic (DGT) reported that 14 children died in 2020, two of them as a result of not using a child restraint system at the time of the accident. These stark figures show how important it is to take the necessary measures to prevent risks to children when travelling by car. Their safety is essential, and we can contribute significantly in this regard.
