We are now Authorised Restraint Fitters

Providing expert help in your local area.

Unfortunately, approximately 80% of child restraints in vehicles are being used incorrectly in Australia, so it is within our duty of care to help you properly secure your most precious cargo. Australian laws require children to be appropriately restrained in a vehicle in a suitable approved and correctly install child restraint from birth to approximately 7 years. If you are found not abiding by this law you may be liable to an on the spot fine of approximately $400.
