The Transport Minister, Anthony Loke, says parents need not worry about harsh enforcement from authorities, over child restraint seats that don't meet specifications.

He says all child restraint seats sold in the market before enforcement started this year, can continue to be used. 

However, he says all such products sold in the market from January 1st onwards, must meet specifications, and if they don't, it's the child seat suppliers who will be taken to task.
