Kidsafe SA

Kidsafe, in partnership with the Australian & New Zealand Burn Association (ANZBA), has launched National Burns Awareness Month (June) to raise awareness about burn prevention and the importance of proper first aid.

Burns can happen in a matter of seconds, but providing immediate and appropriate first aid can help minimise the extent of the injury and support a better recovery. If a burn occurs, cool the affected area under running water for 20 minutes and contact 000 if emergency assistance is required.

After experiencing a terrifying near-miss with her newborn daughter, South Australian mum and Channel 7 personality, Elspeth Hussey, is sharing her story to help raise awareness for other parents and carers about how quickly everyday situations can turn dangerous.

While out shopping with her two-week-old daughter, Elspeth briefly turned away from the pram to look at one last item. In that moment, the pram rolled out the shop door and towards the road. Thankfully, a quick-thinking shop assistant managed to stop it at the kerb before tragedy struck.

Elspeth says the experience was a confronting reminder that near-misses can happen to anyone — even attentive, experienced parents and carers. Exhaustion, distractions and everyday moments can quickly lead to dangerous situations.

Her message to other parents: always apply the pram brake, use the wrist strap, and be mindful of slopes, doorways and busy areas — even if you’re only stepping away for a second.

Sometimes, a few seconds is all it takes.

If your child has a medical condition or disability, Kidsafe SA can assist you in finding a safe travel solution tailored to your family’s needs.

Our expert Road Safety Team of certified Child Car Restraint Fitters work closely with occupational therapists, physiotherapists, and other allied health professionals to select, fit, and adjust the best transportation solution for children.

Once a child is too tall for their rear-facing child restraint (as indicated by the shoulder height markers), they should use a forward-facing child restraint with an inbuilt harness as long as they still fit in it.

Don’t be in a hurry to move little ones into the next stage of child car restraint. No two children are the same - there is no magic number. Keep each child in their current seat until they outgrow it.

For free advice or to book an appointment to have a car seat fitted/hired give us a call on (08) 7089 8554 or pop in and visit us at 92 Sir Donald Bradman Drive in Hilton.

This ban applies to products that position a baby bottle, or bottle teat, so an infant can self-feed without another person holding the bottle or without adult supervision. Significant penalties may apply for non-compliance.
