Minister for Roads and Freight Duncan Gay said the Kindergarten Orientation Day Road Safety Packs would provide a way for parents to talk to children about road safety in an engaging way.

"We are doing everything we can to make our roads safer for our most vulnerable and unpredictable road users, our children," Mr Gay said.

Mr Gay said when children began kindergarten, they were spending more time around the road and footpath, getting to and from school.

"They are our little 'L' platers - and just like we ensure learner drivers have the right skills before getting behind the wheel, we must work with parents and carers to help our kids develop their road safety skills," he said.

The packs include Safety Town DVDs, fact sheets, fridge magnets and stickers to remind children to use the passenger side door to get into and out of the car. There are also height charts and a car seat safety guide to help parents make the best choice of car seat for their child.

"It is absolutely tragic to think that children not correctly secured in a car seat are seven times more likely to receive life threatening injuries during an accident than those properly secured," Mr Gay said.

"That's why it is so important that we give parents as much information as possible."

Mr Gay said for the first time under the Child Restraint Evaluation Program, two booster seats had been given a five star rating, including the Cargo Marathon and the Mother's Choice Victory/Whirl. Ratings and information about car seats which have been tested for crash safety and ease of use are available at childcarseats.com.au, launched by the NSW Government earlier this year.

"These initiatives are on top of a range of other projects to help keep our children safe including the roll out of flashing lights to every school in NSW by the end of 2015," Mr Gay said.
