Child Restraint Fitting
Did you know that the use of a properly fitted child restraint appropriate for the size and weight of the child has been shown to significantly reduce the risk of death or serious injury in the event of a road crash?
To ensure children are afforded maximum protection in the event of a vehicle accident, it’s vital they are travelling in a restraint appropriate to their body size and weight .It is also vital that the restraint is properly fitted.
Child restraints must carry the Standards Australia mark and must be correctly installed. Children should be placed in the back seat of the car which is safer for them than the front seat. Do not use infant restraints in the front seat of vehicles with a front passenger airbag. Restraints that have been in a crash or are damaged should not be used.
Child restraints must be chosen based on the child’s body size and weight not their age.
You can have a child restraint checked or fitted at Tyres & More stores. From March 2008 all participating stores will be qualified to fit child restraints.
Tyres & More have also introduced a children’s play area in their stores, which consists of a play-table and chairs, simple toys and some colouring in pads to keep your children occupied, so you can relax and have a cup of coffee and read a magazine while your car is being serviced.
