While Travelling With Kids #ChildSafetyMatters
Our Initiative
We adults have so many rules & regulations to follow when we’re driving. But did you know that there are special rules to follow when travelling with a kid? No right. This is why we at R for Rabbit, in collaboration with Jeep India, have taken this responsibility to educate all the parents about the importance of a car seat/safety harness when a baby is onboard. Our fun and quirky campaign is a take on what all of us humans desire recognition and appreciation of efforts. We see the parents are not only following all the rules for their safety but are aware of rules for their baby’s safety as well. This leads to appreciation from the cops to the parents. We urge you to give us the opportunity to appreciate you as well.
Importance of Road Safety Awareness
Through this campaign, we want to raise awareness of the importance of road safety when travelling with kids because #ChildSafetyMatters. As per Indian Motor Vehicle Act 2019, it is mandatory to use a safety harness/car seat/child restraining system when travelling with a child.
“Child safety is a matter that cannot be overlooked, especially regarding road safety. We as a brand are committed to offer products for children which are safe to use and therefore, it also becomes our responsibility to educate our audience regarding the road safety of their children. To represent the concern amongst our users, we developed our CSR campaign #ChildSafetyMatters, emphasizing child safety while driving and how kids car seats play a crucial factor. We are delighted to collaborate with Havaldar Amol Kamble for our campaign. His expertise and dedication to protecting children make him an ideal partner for this initiative, and we expect to widen our voice with our relevant audience” said
