Promoting the use of car-seats to cut road risk for children in Georgia

EASST partner Partnership for Road Safety is partnering with FIA members the Georgian Automobile Sport Federation, to promote the use of child restraint systems in Georgia and advocate for legislation changes to make their use mandatory.

The project will include a baseline survey to better understand the particular messages and action needed to increase child restraint use in Georgia, followed by a national media campaign to raise awareness and present the issue in a public space. Building on this momentum, the project will then lobby for further amendments to Georgia’s seat belt legislation to include provisions for children and ensure the law’s enforcement.
