They need to put their money where their mouth is then and bring Childrens Car Seats down to a price people can afford; have you seen the price of them here ?

 

Anyway; more window dressing to make it appear to The World (yes; that big place outside the Bubble that Thailand lives in ) that all is well for Health&Safety in La La Land !

Well I just checked on Lazada, before i made a similar comment, and of course it depends on what level of safety will be followed here, they are from 300B - 30,000B Still I guess the cheap one is better than naff all.

Pol Maj Gen Jirasant Kaewsaeng-ek, deputy commissioner of the MPB, said the new rule under the Land Traffic Act would take effect in the next 120 days or on Sept 5 and it was intended to save children in the event of a traffic accident.

While 4-up on a Honda wave with a baby on your knee will continue?

How about a car seat on the back of a motorbike when the family go for a day out, suppose when there's four on a bike there's not much room for one though.

No Ploplem.

New laws, more severe penalties, all a load of hot air if the BIB are not enforcing them.
