It seems the Road Safety Authority agrees, as it has announced a new free online child car seat checking service called Check it Fits .
The service will provide advice and support to parents, grandparents, guardians, and childminders to ensure that child car seats are fitted correctly.
The ‘Check it Fits’ service moved online in response to the Covid-19 pandemic but normally travels around the country providing free safety checks on child car seats.
But now the public book a virtual appointment with one of the RSA’s child car seat experts and have the car seat checked from home.
“We are delighted to get our ‘Check it Fits’ service back up and running, Sam Waide, Chief Executive, Road Safety Authority, said.
