According to a report by the Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (MIROS), an agency under the Malaysian Ministry of Transport, children transported in private vehicles, such as cars, vans, and four-wheel drives, are among the most vulnerable on the road. The study highlights that 43.8% of casualties among children aged 1 to 4, and 30.2% among those aged 5 to 9, are from this groupi. With road safety a growing concern, these findings underscore the importance of child passenger protection in private vehicles. Combi Malaysia demonstrating their latest innovation, the CrossAge 360: a new Japanese car seat designed for children from birth to 10 years, tested to meet the latest safety standards (European Standard No. R129). With its 360° revolving seat and easy one-hand swivel, it helps parents effortlessly get their children in and out of the car. In response to rising child fatalities in road accidents, the Ministry of Transport has amended the Road Transport Act 1978 - Motor Vehicles (Safety Seat-belts) (Amendment) Rules 2019. This mandates that children who weigh less than 36 kg, are shorter than 135 cm, or are under 10 years old, must use Child Restraint Systems (CRS) when travelling in cars. L to R: Eris Chew, Combi Malaysia Representative; Cynthia Tan, 988 Radio Announcer and a mother; and Teoh Joon Wei, Child Occupant Safety Advisor (COSA) certified by Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (MIROS) sharing experience and insights on keeping children safe on the road. Eris Chew, representing Combi Malaysia, shared, “Although the Ministry is still evaluating mandatory child seat use, we strongly encourage parents to adopt Child Restraint Systems now. CRS has proven effective in reducing both injury severity and the risk of fatality for children during accidents”. Chew also acknowledged the barriers Malaysian families face in adopting CRS, including perceived high costs and limited awareness. “At Combi Malaysia, we’re committed to bridging this gap by raising awareness and providing accessible, certified safety solutions that families can rely on”.
