I had the pleasure of pitching Securatot on BBC Wiltshire radio today. Fortunately, the pitch was recorded last week but only on an hours notice! What I wasn’t expecting however, was the interview. It was quite a nerve racking experience to be asked questions on the spot and to answer into a BBC microphone – not a usual part of my day! It did give me a great opportunity to explain about rear facing and hopefully answer some of the questions parents may have.

In total, Securatot got 5 minutes air time! The only disappointing part of the interview was the introduction. The DJ, Matthew Smith, stated that two mums were claiming that forward facing seats are dangerous. Securatot, Kirsty and I, do not believe that forward facing seats are dangerous. They are safe and we believe they are safe but we want to spread the word that rear facing seats are 5 times safer! It will always be difficult to deal with media who will want to dramatise what we say but we would like to make it very clear that forward facing seats are safe! If you would like to hear the interview for yourself please follow this link and have a listen (interview starts at 2hr 8mins). We would love to know what you think!
