Perfect Fitting & Checking Service Australia For Your Little Ones in Car

Are you 100% sure your child's restraints are well-fitted and secure? Many parents and guardians are unaware of the potential dangers lurking when child restraint systems are installed incorrectly. Automotive Restraints's fitting and checking service is more than just a service; it is a commitment to safeguarding the ones you love.

The Dangers of Faulty Restraints

It's a startling fact that improper installation of child restraint systems can lead to tragic consequences. According to research conducted by Neuroscience Research Australia (NeuRA), approximately 50% of child injuries in Australia are the result of road accidents involving children in cars.

Risks Associated with Improper Installation

Improperly fitted restraints can expose your child to a myriad of dangers, including:

  1. Inadequate Protection
  2. Ejection Risks
  3. Whiplash and Other Injuries
  4. Internal Injuries

To mitigate these risks and ensure your child's safety while on the road, it's crucial to have your child restraints expertly fitted and regularly checked by professionals.
