Baby Seat Installation

Baby Seat Installation In Bundaberg

Unfortunately, a huge number of car seats installed by inexperienced owners are done so incorrectly. Studies show that a shocking three out of four parents install baby seats incorrectly with one study this year finding that 95% of first-time parents made critical installation mistakes with rear-facing baby seats. Read more When your child’s life depends on the correct installation, it’s best to leave the task to the experts. Studies also show that first-time parents who worked with professional car seat technicians were 13 times more likely to have a baby seat installed correctly. With statistics like these and the risks at stake, it’s important to make sure it’s done right.

Working with a certified technician means that your baby seat will be assessed for how it can best be configured to your particular car, with its intricacies and unique points. They will ensure that your car seat is perfectly fitted into the type of car you have. At Stewart & Sons Engineering we take great pride in having detailed knowledge of every type of car that shows up so that we can offer the type of modification or improvement that suits that vehicle.

Choosing to work with one of our certified technicians means that you will get personalised advice based on the age of your children and even their personality. For example, we can talk you through the placing of different car seats to be sure that your children are the safest they can be. One of these topics is why you should put a child in a forward-facing child seat in the centre seat and a child in a rear-facing seat behind the driver or passenger seat. Because rear-facing seats are safer than forward-facing seats, having a forward-facing seat in the centre means that in the case of a side-impact crash, the child would have less risk of sustaining an injury. We can also discuss changes based on the personality of your child. An example of this would be if you consider a young child who meets the qualification of a backless booster seat. Before moving them into a backless booster, think about whether they are the type of child to meet the criteria for keeping this seat safe and functioning as it should. A backless booster will only work as it should if your child is likely to be sitting up straight the majority of the time they are in it and if they are unlikely to play with the seatbelt. If your child doesn’t fit these criteria, then we wouldn’t recommend switching them over to the backless booster.

This kind of personalised advice can help you keep your children safe and secure while you’re on the road. One final benefit to mention when choosing to work with a certified professional is the ability to have a guide walk you through choosing the correct type of seat you buy. When you’re looking at many child safety seats, pulling the trigger on the one you buy can be overwhelming. What if you choose the wrong one? What if the worst happens and you’re not prepared? Don’t worry! Call up one of our friendly, knowledgeable associates to have them help you wade through all the options and choose the best fit for you and your family, then ensure it’s installed as it should be in order to function correctly.
