Why it’s important? Know the research.
Young children are some of our most vulnerable road users, and recent findings from Transurban’s latest car seat safety blitz found almost all car seats are installed incorrectly.
The latest blitz revealed 97%* of the seats checked needed adjustments to correct errors with tether straps, clips, twisted seatbelts or the angle and direction of the car seat. And in some cases, the car seat required total reinstallation.
Importantly, a correctly fitted child car seat can significantly reduce the risk of injury in an accident by up to 70%**.
So take the guesswork out of car seat installation and book in for a free fitting to ensure your most precious cargo is safe on the road these holidays.
