Keep your most precious cargo safe on the roads.
Car seats can be tricky to install, and with Transurban data revealing more than 90%* of car seats are fitted incorrectly, some things are best left to the experts.
That’s why Transurban and Kidsafe Qld are offering even more FREE professional child car seat fittings and safety checks this National Road Safety Week, from 12 to 15 May, at Mt Ommaney Shopping Centre, Sunnybank Hills, Westfield Carindale and Racecourse Village Ascot as part of a car seat safety blitz.

Transurban’s Car Seat Blitz is taking place at the following locations:
12 May: Mt Ommaney Shopping Centre
13 May: Sunnybank Hills Shoppingtown
14 May: Westfield Carindale
15 May: Racecourse Village Ascot
Kidsafe experts will check for any errors with car seats, fix installation issues, and if needed, teach people how to use their seats correctly to prevent future issues.

Why it’s important? Know the research.
Young children are some of our most vulnerable road users, and recent findings from Transurban have revealed almost all car seats are installed incorrectly.
More than 90%* of the seats checked last year by Kidsafe 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 guess work out of car seat installation and book in for a free fitting to ensure your most precious cargo is safe on the road.
