Perodua Pushes Its Child Car Seats Safety Campaign Up a Notch Ahead of the Mandatory Use Scheduled for 2020



Perodua has ramped up its Child Car Seats Safety Campaign ahead of the mandatory use scheduled for 2020 by the Malaysian government. Back in October 2017, Perodua launched a few long-term safety campaigns aimed at all road users, especially its customers, on the importance of using turn signals (which many Malaysians still don't), wearing seat belts (which many Malaysians still don't), not using mobile devices while driving (which many Malaysians still do) and restraining children in child seats (which many stupid, idiotic, dumb parents still don't have proper seats). This round of reminders from Perodua are about the child safety seats.



Now that the government has decided to make child safety seats mandatory, Perodua would like to remind everyone that it had launched back in 2017 the GearUp ISOFIX Child Car Seats in two models – the Infant Seat (above) and the Toddler Seat (at the start of this article). The Infant Seat is designed for infants weighing up to 13 kg and is available in red or grey colours. Meanwhile, the Toddler seat is for children weighing 9-36 kg and is offered in red or black. 

These safety seats are now offered at a new promotional price again and .Perodua will run targeted educational, awareness and promotional campaigns throughout Ramadan on the importance of using child car seats, especially on the balik kampung jaunt in the run-up to Hari Raya.


“The general lack of compliance by Malaysian motorists with regard to child car seat usage is frightening to say the least, as children are the most vulnerable occupants in a moving vehicle,” said Perodua Auto Corporation Sdn Bhd Vice-President Datuk Ahmad Suhaimi Hashim, who is also Chairman of the Perodua Safety Committee.

In conjunction with this, from 13 May to 30 June, Perodua will be offering its GearUp ISOFIX Child Car Seats at promotional prices of RM660 for the Infant Seat and RM780 for the Toddler Seat, reduced from the respective RM785 and RM975 currently.

“As a Malaysian carmaker, we feel it is our responsibility to educate our customers and the public on road safety. We understand that education is a long-term process, and we are committed to it,” added Datuk Suhaimi.

“Our friendly authorised sales and service advisors at your nearest Perodua outlet will only be too happy to explain the benefits of using the GearUp ISOFIX Child Car Seats and how to correctly install them.

“In addition to learning more about our child seats and their benefits, we also welcome the public to learn more about our current after-sales campaign, which offers 50% off labour charges when you spend RM170 and up, before tax and discount, in one receipt.

“This offer is available at all authorised Perodua service centres nationwide on 14, 16, 21 and 23 May (1pm-5pm), 27-31 May (8am-5pm) and 3 June (8am-5pm). 

It is time for you to take advantage of this offer, especially if you are a Perodua owner and have small children. Your hands are not strong enough to hold your child during an accident. You may think you are capable, but you are not.
