Children’s Car Seat Petition
As
This tax is unfair and adds even more strain to families who may already be struggling to meet all the costs of raising a young family. Halfords have launched a campaign to end this tax. For six weeks, from Tuesday 2nd September to Monday 17th November they are selling all of their car seats and boosters at a cost equililant to a zero rate VAT.
Even though this is our fourth child, having a gap of almost six years means we’ve pretty much had to start out from scratch in purchasing all that he will need. Even by only purchasing the necessities it still costs a lot to kit out a baby and all it needs, so every little saving helps. While many items you can get away with purchasing second hand, a car seat is not one of them. Unless you can be 100% certain that it has never been in an accident, or has no damage, taking that risk with your child’s safety simply isn’t worth the risk.
I’ve signed the petition calling for the EU to scrap this car seat tax, you can find out more information about Halfords campaign here and sign the petition here.
