Child Car Restraint Fitting and Safety Checks

Local parents and carers are invited to book in for a free child car restraint fitting or safety check. The events are hosted by Kidsafe Victoria in partnership with Neighbourhood Houses Victoria, with support by the Victorian State Government.

Anecdotal evidence suggests 70% of child car restraints are incorrectly installed or used. Child car restraints that are incorrectly fitted pose a serious safety risk to children travelling in those restraints.

Bookings are essential. Parents and carers (including grandparents!) can book in a free child car restraint fitting or check by registering through the Safe Seats, Safe Kids website. Please note, if you need to have more than 1 child car restraint fitted/ checked, you will need to choose the number of child car restraints at the start.

Online bookings open approximately one month prior to event. Please continue to monitor this page for more information or call the Woodend Neighbourhood House on 5427 1845.
