Wheel Well is currently the only organisation that focuses on children in road safety. Our flagship campaign, Car Seats for Kids has made it possible that over 8000 children from lower income families are secured in car seats. Since we have started in 2012, the child death toll on the roads has been reduced by 24%, that whilst the total death toll increased over the same time period. We have broadened our scope to include children as passengers in public transport as well as child pedestrians.
