I spoke about the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and Health and Safety at work 1999. If you google these will help you too. Employees are encouraged not to lift unless using suitable trolleys etc. This mechanism takes the full weight of the child therefore protecting you and them. Obviously if you can relate this to your own setting and have an example you can use this would be great
