Restraint checks and adjustments

Book an appointment any Kidsafe ACT location for a free* check or adjustment.
Due to social distancing requirements we are limited to how many people we can have in the shop at one time appointments are needed for car seat fittings and free car seat checks and adjustments.
We have had to put a limit to how many free checks we can do in one day due to restrictions brought on by COVID19. Because there can be a wait for free checks we now offer a $20 check option for up to 2 seats. These $20 checks allows us to see more people for checks with less wait time for an appointment. As Kidsafe ACT is charity the fee helps us to stay operating.
Check our contact us page for our nearest location for a child restraint check.


What does a restraint check and adjustment involve?
  • Checking the seat for damage, wear and making sure it's within age
  • Adjusting the harness and/or headrest to your child’s size
  • Making sure the tether, seatbelt/isofix are firmly attached and adjusted to manufacturer's instructions 
  • Adjusting the recline of the seat, padding and cover to make sure it's comfortable for your little one
  • Showing you how to use and adjust the restraint yourself

We will also provide advice on whether the seat is suitable for the child's age and size and whether they have outgrown the seat (or will soon).  

​If we recommend any extra parts or accessories we will explain what they are for and what they cost.

*There is a $30 fee for checks where there are 3 or more restraints in a car as these checks take more time and can sometimes be tricky. Appointments are needed for checks on 3 or more seats to ensure we have the time needed for the check.
