Car Seat Saves Baby's Life In Craigavon Crash
PSNI in Craigavon have released a shocking picture after a baby escaped injury in a collision due to a car seat being fitted properly.
Fortunately, the infant didn't even have to go to the hospital following the crash, which happened on Tuesday, 28 March.
Police said "it could have been a much different story" if the parents hadn't been so careful with fitting their car seat.
A PSNI spokesperson said: "This is why we spend so much time and money on car seats! Believe it or not the baby in the back of this car didn't even need to go to hospital! The parents may be slightly disappointed at the loss of a nice car, but the main thing is their little munchkin is in one piece."
