Road Safety - Free Car Seat Checks

Did you know 4 in 5 car seats are incorrectly fitted? If you're travelling with children in your car they must use a car seat. It is your responsibility to ensure car seats are correctly fitted. The RSA Check it Fits is a free child car seat checking service.

The RSA's expert child car seat checkers will fix any incorrectly fitted seats or harnesses, show you how to do it yourself and answer any queries you have. The service is FREE and open to all makes and models of cars and child car seats.

At the moment, the RSA Check it Fits service offers virtual appointments and all appointments must be scheduled through an online booking system.

Virtual appointments take place via Microsoft Teams. If you are not familiar with Microsoft Teams you can find out how it works here.

A checker will ask you to show them the child car seat in situ and as such it is important that your device is easily portable, has a camera and internet access. The checker will talk you through the steps to check and adjust the child car seat(s) and answer any questions you may have during the appointment.

The RSA record some information from the child car seat checks on electronic tablets to help us understand where we need to focus our education and all our data is collected in line with GDPR rules.

The length of your appointment will depend on the number of child car seats requiring a check. When booking you must choose an appointment for 1 Child Car Seat Check or for 2 or more Child Car Seat Checks.

You can then select a suitable date and time for your appointment.

You must provide your details (Name, Email, Phone Number) and if you have any particular issues or concerns you would like to discuss during the appointment you can add this information in the notes box provided.

Finally, will also be asked to provide information on your car (year, make, model), child car seat(s) (make and model) and the weight and height of your child. This information allows our checker to determine if your seat(s) are compatible with your vehicle and suitable for your child.
