“As the Christmas school holiday period approaches and parents are planning their holiday destinations, it’s more important than ever to ensure parents and carers have chosen an Australian Standards approved child restraint appropriate for the child’s height,” Ms Bleechmore said.
“Equally important is how the restraint has been secured to the car seat. The road can be a dangerous environment and correctly fitted child restraints give little ones the best chance of surviving a crash.”
To make a booking call Jayne Bleechmore on 6801 400.
