Get your child’s car seat checked

PARENTS can have their child car seats checked for free at Davey’s Toyota Motors this month.

The Road Safety Authority ‘Check it Fits’ Service will be stationed at the Hazelwood car dealers on Monday 20 th August 10am - 5.30pm.

Child car seat installation experts will be available to ensure car seats and restraints are correctly fitted for Sligo parents.

The service takes between 1015 minutes, is free of charge and offers parents and guardians reassurance that their child is safe while travelling in the car.

If your child’s car seat or restraint is incorrectly fitted, the ‘Check it Fits’ experts will advise on how to fix the problem, demonstrate how to fit the restraint correctly and answer any queries participants might have to avoid potential serious or fatal injury in the event of a collision.

Senior Road Safety Promotion Officer for the RSA Aisling Sloyan encouraged people to “visit the ‘Check it Fits’ when it comes to Sligo and give yourself the peace of mind that your children are travelling safely.”

Research has revealed that 4 out of 5 child car seats are incorrectly fitted nationwide.
