Cooler weather, darker mornings and sick spells can definitely dampen enthusiasm about the day ahead, and when it comes to child care, many youngsters are putting in longer hours than their working parents.
This means there will be times when your child is worn out, run down and generally reluctant about being dropped off. However, if they really don't want to go to child care – especially on an ongoing basis – then it's important to look at what may be driving this reticence and how you can help.

In fact, every time you get behind the wheel with a child passenger, you're legally obliged to buckle them into an approved child restraint or seatbelt that is appropriate for their age. This applies whether you're driving your baby around the block, taking a toddler to playgroup or taxiing schoolkids to Saturday sport, so let's investigate the different rules and options around in-car child restraints.
