On a very windy day, you’re walking along a pavement beside a busy road with a toddler in a buggy. Strong gusts are blowing the buggy towards the kerb. What should you do to keep the child safest when you need to check for a safe gap in the traffic before crossing?

Explanation

In windy conditions, a buggy can be blown towards the road, increasing danger to a child. The Highway Code (Rule 4) advises that very young children should be strapped into push-chairs and that you must not push the buggy into the road when checking for traffic, especially from between parked vehicles. You should keep the buggy fully on the pavement and position yourself between the child and the traffic to provide maximum protection.
