Not sure what will fit? Book a car seat consultation before you buy.
Every appointment includes a clear walkthrough of how your restraint works, so you can use it correctly every day.
Isofix or Seat Belt Installation
When installed correctly, there is no safety difference between Isofix and seat-belt installation. Isofix was introduced to help parents avoid common fitting mistakes.
Most modern cars have Isofix. Holden and Ford models generally only included Isofix from around 2016. Cars built before 2000 will not have Isofix, and it cannot be retro-fitted.
We use the method that suits your seat and your vehicle.
Common Mistakes & Safety Tips
Our ACRI accredited fitters regularly help Melbourne families avoid these common installation and use errors.
Incorrect harness height
Rear-facing: straps at or just below the shoulders. Forward-facing: at or just above. The wrong height reduces protection.
Twisted or loose harness
Twisted straps reduce effectiveness in a crash. The harness should be snug — you should not be able to pinch slack at the shoulder.
Loose installation
At the belt path, the seat should not move more than about 2.5 cm side-to-side or front-to-back. We aim for a tight, secure fit every time.
Missing top tether (forward-facing)
Forward-facing seats should use the top tether where required. It reduces forward head movement in a crash.
Wrong recline angle
Newborns need more recline to keep the airway open. We set the angle to suit your child’s age and the seat model.
Thick clothing under the harness
Bulky jackets can stop the harness sitting against the body. Dress your child in thinner layers and use a blanket over the harness if needed.
Avoid these common mistakes — let an accredited fitter set everything up correctly.
