About half of children riding in a car are not seated properly—and that means they aren’t safe.
Make sure your child isn’t one of them!
Check the Société de l’assurance automobile du Québec (SAAQ) website for all the latest information and, most important of all, to ensure your children are safe on the road.
Did you know that a child car seat has an expiry date? Its lifespan is typically 6 to 12 years. After that, the plastic and straps may be weaker and no longer up to the job of protecting your child. That’s the main reason CAA-Quebec does not recommend buying a used seat.
If you can’t find the expiry date marked on the seat, check the instruction manual or contact the manufacturer.
The Centre de recherche et d’éducation à l’environnement has found a way to recover and recycle car seat components.
CAA-Quebec is pleased to partner with this initiative by opening a collection depot in Quebec City. There are also several other depots across the province.
