Trucks part distributor, AfintaPart has donated R200 000 worth of car seats to the Wheel Wall store at the Brightwater Commons Shopping Centre in Randburg.

Wheel Well collects used children’s car seats and once they are in good repair distributes them to less fortunate families

Wayne Lodder, Director of AfintaPart, says, ”Roads are purported to be the single biggest killer of young people over the age of 10 and locally three children under the age of 15 die each day on our roads. There is a critical need for booster car seats to be made available wherever possible. They have been scientifically proven to reduce the need for hospitalisation by 60%, by holding children in position during a crash, which would otherwise see a passenger being thrown into the instrument panel, windscreen or other parts of a car. “

“We are pleased to have played a role in making road trips safer, especially for children.”

If you have a car seat you would like to donate please contact Peggie Mars on 072 385 7121 or email her at peggie@wheelwell.co.za.
