FIVEAA Breakfast\u2019s David Penberthy said during Thursday\u2019s Breaking @ 8 segment:<\/p>\n
\u201cHow\u2019s this: apparently at the moment\u2026 according to an Adelaide Facebook mothers group there\u2019s been a significant number of mothers having their baby seats check by the police to make sure their children are being correctly restrained in the car.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo its credit SAPOL has been upping the number of patrols that it does outside of schools because of the scourge of drug driving and the continuing problem of drink driving\u2026<\/p>\n
\u201cBut apparently what\u2019s been happening according to this Facebook group is there\u2019s been a number of instances where mums who are totally doing the right thing — have absolutely no grog or indeed crystal meth in their systems — have had the old \u2018while we\u2019re chatting do you mind if we have a quick look at your baby seat\u2019 and giving it a bit of a tug.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf it\u2019s not clipped onto the bracket at the back or if the base is loose or even if the arm straps aren\u2019t tight enough people have been fined $363 and lost three demerit points\u2026<\/p>\n
