MILFORD CARGO BARRIERS NEWS & ARTICLES
Most of these 4WDs are selling exceptionally well due to their compact design and affordable price level and are destined for use as the family's second vehicle. In this guise, they are driven by parents carrying Australia's most valuable cargo - children. "It is still far too common to see a loaded station wagon with children in the back seat, and no cargo barrier fitted," said Milford Industries product manager, Henry Mercieca. "Parents just have to realise the benefits of cargo barriers and acknowledge their responsibility to their children. Cargo barriers can be as important as seat belts." Subaru's recently released 2002 Forester is another new 4WD barrier released by Milfords. Expected to outsell its predecessor, the Forester is a favourite with families and couples making holiday trips, especially in the outback. Henry Mercieca acknowledges that many owners of larger 4WD vehicles, such as Landcruisers and Patrols, are more aware of cargo barrier benefits because they use the cargo area of their vehicles to transport heavy items like toolboxes, fridges and 4WD recovery gear. He believes many first-time 4WD buyers of vehicles such as the Tribute, Terracan, Escape and Forester, have owned only sedans and need to be educated about fitting an approved safety barrier. "We have numerous well-documented cases of accidents where occupants of a vehicle were saved from injury, perhaps death, because an approved cargo barrier had been fitted," he said. "It's worth checking them out on our website www.cargobarrier.com It will give people a very timely reminder of this safety issue. The bonus is that they will also see how much more shopping, cargo and holiday luggage they can safely carry in their wagons, 4WDs and vans."
