Child Car Seat Checks and Adjustments
What does a Car Seat Check and Adjustment involve?
- Checking the seat for damage, wear and making sure it's within it's 10 year life span
- Adjusting the harness and/or headrest to your child’s size
- Making sure the tether, seatbelt/isofix are firmly attached and adjusted according to the 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
- If we recommend any extra parts or accessories to ensure your Child Car Seat is installed as safely as possible, we will explain what they are for and what they cost before fitting them.

Car Seat Check (for up to 2 Child Car Seats) $30.00*
Check for 3 or more Child Car Seats $75.00**
**EVEN IF YOU ONLY WANT US TO CHECK OR INSTALL 1 CAR SEAT AND YOU HAVE 3 OR MORE CAR SEATS IN THE CAR.
PLEASE CALL US TO BOOK A CHECK FOR 3 OR MORE CAR SEATS.
A check on car seats with other seats in the car, especially 3 children in one row of the car is a lot more time and harder on the fitter's body.
There are more technical issues to consider:
- The space in vehicle itself
- Ensuring there is no excessive compression of seats (which over time can cause damage and reduce the safety of seats)
- Does the combination of the seats work safely?
- Does the configuration of the seats work safely?
So while it may seem like the price jumps considerably for just 1 extra seat, there are very valid safety reasons for this. Kidsafe ACT aims to ensure the safety of your children. We don't take short cuts and our service fees reflect this.
