Checking the fit
Surveys have shown that over half of child car seats are not fitted correctly. It is important you make sure the seat is suitable for your child and your car - your child's life could depend on it.
- Read the maker's instructions carefully and keep them in a safe place in case you need them again.
- When the seat is fitted properly you should not be able to shake it or move it about.
- If the seat is not securely fitted try it in another position in the vehicle.
- The seatbelt buckle should not touch the frame of the baby seat.
If for any reason you are unhappy with the fit go back to the shop where it was purchased from and highlight the problems.
