​Child restraint installation

We will install your own restraint for you from scratch for $30 per seat. 
Purchasing a seat from Kidsafe ACT? Installation is free the first time.

*What does a restraint installation involve?
  • Adjusting and installing the restraint from scratch
  • Checking the seat for damage, wear and making sure it's within age
  • Adjusting the harness and/or headrest to your child’s size
  • Attaching and firmly adjusting tether, seatbelt/isofix 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

Many people feel comfortable to install their restraints themselves after a little bit of extra help the first time, while others get their seats professionally installed each time. Our focus is on helping parents, carers and families to install, adjust and use restraints correctly. We want to keep our smallest passengers as safe as possible, so we're happy to take the time to show you how everything works!
