Did you know up to 90% of child car seats are fitted incorrectly?*
A recent safety blitz by Kidsafe and Transurban revealed up to 90% of car seats are fitted incorrectly.* A correctly fitted child car seat can significantly reduce the risk of injury in an accident by up to 70%** – so it’s important to make sure car seats are professionally checked to keep your most precious cargo safe on the road.
