RSA Free Child Seat testing - Louth
The RSA’s ‘Check it Fits’ child’s car seat checking service will be visiting County Louth on 9th & 10th April 2018.
The service is quick, it’s easy and it’s free. On the day experts will advise on how to fix any problem, demonstrate how to fit the restraint correctly and answer any queries participants might have. The experts aim to put parents, grandparents and guardians minds at ease that their child’s car seat is safely and securely fitted in their car.
All children under 150cms in height or 36kgs in weight must use a child restraint system suitable for their height and weight while travelling in a car or goods vehicle.
Over 21,000 child car seats and restraints in Ireland were checked since 2013. Worryingly, 79% of seats required a major adjustment, of which 3% were deemed not fit for purpose and condemned, meaning they could have caused injury or even death in the event of a collision.
