Police stopped a vehicle which had an unrestrained baby lying across the passenger seat, while a car seat went unused in the back.
Greater Manchester Police were carrying out road safety checks in Whitefield when they came across the vehicle.
They also found a number of children in the backseats – all without seatbelts on.
The driver was reported for the offence of carrying passengers in an unsafe manner, with urgent care referrals being made to both social services and schools.
Inspector Jamie Buchanan of GMP’s Specialist Operations, said: ‘ Our officers show zero tolerance towards any individual found to be engaging in dangerous driving behaviour.
‘The truly shocking detail with this incident is that the vehicle had a baby seat fitted in the rear of the car, where other older children were sat, also unrestrained.
‘We continue to tackle behaviours which puts vulnerable passengers and other road users at risk of death or serious injury and the majority of the law abiding public can rest assured that drivers such as this individual, can expect to be faced with the full force of the law.’
