Free safety checks were carried out on child car seats at a Spen Valley supermarket as part of a major safety awareness operation.

Nearly half the child car seats checked in the Kirklees Council safety session were incorrectly fitted.

The checks were carried out on infant car seats at supermarkets in Dewsbury, Heckmondwike and Huddersfield and the seats and restraints of 115 vehicles were checked to see if they were correctly fitted.

Nearly half of the child car seats were incorrectly fitted and children in one car were found without any form of restraint at all.
