KKH and Komoco Programme Offering Newborn Car Seats To Parents Fully Subscribed

KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital (KKH) has given complimentary car seats to newborns as part of Singapore’s first initiative to reduce child road traffic injuries, promoting safer car rides from birth. And we have learnt that as of 3 March, the programme has been fully-subscribed. Sign-ups are currently closed until further notice.

Komoco Motors has sponsored 300 car seats to KKH for a loan programme, in partnership with KKH, Mothercare and supported by the Singapore Traffic Police.

To encourage ongoing use of age-appropriate car seats, parents will receive a subsidy for their next car seat purchase when they return the loaned seat after their child turns one.

Tracy Teo, Marketing Director, Komoco Motors Pte Ltd, said, "As mobility providers, we naturally find ourselves tending to accident and repair cases, aside from just the business of selling cars. This project holds a special place for us as we believe that mobility on the road should be safe for all road users, and children who are defenceless in these situations must be well protected. Our goals are in line with KKH: to reduce traumatic injuries in children due to road accidents. Hence, we've sponsored the car seats so that every baby's ride is as safe as possible. We yearn for our sponsorship to also help new parents learn and understand the benefit of using a car seat and become advocates themselves."
