Child Car Restraint Fitting
& Checking Service

Unsure about the installation and/or fitting of your child’s car seat? Kidsafe offers a cost-effective service, by qualified Type 1 fitters, that will ensure your child’s car seat is fitted correctly and that it complies with government legislation.

This fitting service provides a comprehensive overview of how the restraint you have purchased works, how to use and adjust the restraint for your child; and it is then installed into your vehicle, and each customer is provided with a paper record of what the fitter has completed.

Please note: Where factory fitted anchor points are not present, the customer is required to install, at their own cost, an anchorage system that meets the Australian Design Rules with certification from MVR/Department of Infrastructure, Planning & Logistics.
