The Importance of Car Safety with Children*
Let’s face it, car safety is important regardless of who is in the car, but for me, ensuring Little Miss is safe is of utter most importance. I won’t lie, I’m definitely a terribly overbearing mother who panics at the slightest thing but I just personally feel that if you can do something to keep your child safe from harm, you should do it.

I lost both my grandfathers in the space of 6 weeks a few years back, which was so hard as I’d always been lucky enough to have most of my grandparents.
