Check it Fits
Peace of mind that your child's car seat is fitted correctly
According to our Check it Fits Service, over half of child car seats checked are incorrectly fitted which can result in a serious injury or a fatality in the event of a collision.
Our 'Check it Fits' service offers a full-time, nationwide, free service. Our experts will check that your child's car seat is fitted correctly, show you how to fit it correctly and answer any questions you may have.
The Check it Fits service visits all 26 counties twice a year, delivering approximately 140 in-person events annually. New locations and dates are added regularly, so please check the map below for upcoming events in your area. You don't need to book an appointment - simply come along.

If you can't attend in person
If you are unable to attend a Check it Fits event in person, you can click on the link below to request a call back from one of our child car seat experts. They can answer your questions and, where helpful, arrange a virtual consultation via WhatsApp video call.
During a virtual consultation, our expert can provide advice and guidance on your child car seat. However, a virtual consultation cannot replace an in-person child car seat check, as the expert cannot physically inspect the seat or confirm that it is correctly and safely fitted in your vehicle.
Once you submit a request, a member of the Check it Fits team will contact you to arrange a suitable date and time.
For the best reassurance that your child’s car seat is correctly and safely fitted, we recommend attending a Check it Fits event in person. Click on the links below to request a call back or ask a question and a member of our team will get back to you.
