Canterbury Plunket www.plunket.org.nz Our vision: In the first 1000 days we make the difference of a lifetime. Please do not act in a way that may be harmful to others.

Whānau Āwhina Plunket is a charity, and New Zealand’s largest provider of services to support the health and development of children under-five. We see around 85% of all Kiwi kids, and are committed making sure every single one has the opportunity to be as healthy and well as they can be. We are also dedicated to building the confidence and knowledge of families across New Zealand, and making sure

none are left isolated, disconnected or unable to cope. Our Plunket Nurses offer parenting information and support, as well as developmental assessments of your child through home and clinic visits, mobile clinics and PlunketLine 0800 933 922 (a free 24/7 telephone advice service for parents). We also organise parent groups, parenting education, toy libraries, drop in centres, play groups, early childhood education and education in schools. Find out more at: https://www.plunket.org.nz/

Did you know capsules are designed to keep pēpi on the correct angle to breathe safely while they’re in the car? That angle changes when the capsule is removed, making them unsafe for sleep.

If your child has fallen asleep on the journey, don’t leave them in the capsule – transfer them to a safe sleep space when you arrive. On long journeys it’s important to stop at least every 2 hours and take pēpi out of the capsule for a stretch and a wriggle.

If you’re not sure if your capsule, car seat or other child restraint is correctly installed, reach out to your nearest child restraint technician for advice. You can find ours on our website: https://bit.ly/4bGhEB2

Bonus tip: Keep play areas and driveways separate – or if you can’t, always supervise children and ask visitors to park on the street.

Helmets help protect tamariki from injury as they are learning to explore on wheels. This handy 2-4-1 rule makes sure your child’s head is protected every time they ride their bike, trike or scooter.



Bonus tip: Your child’s helmet needs to be the right size for their head, not one they will grow into.
