Booster seat fitted correctly in your car. Proper positioning for your child's size, seat belt routed safely, checked for security.
Want Your Child's Booster Seat Done Right?
Booster seats are simple in theory - sit it on the seat, belt goes through the guides. But getting it actually right matters:
- Right position for child's height
- Seat belt crossing shoulder not neck
- Lap belt low across hips not stomach
- Booster stable, not sliding about
Most people manage fine. Some aren't sure and want it checked properly.
💡 Pro tip: High-back boosters are safer than cushion boosters - they position the shoulder belt better and provide side impact protection. Worth the extra cost for younger kids.

Good to Know
👶 Child too small? Booster seats are for 4+ years AND 15kg+ weight. Younger/smaller children need proper car seats with their own harness, not boosters. I'll tell you honestly if they're not ready yet.
ISOFIX car seats different: This service is for simple booster seats. Full ISOFIX car seats (the ones that click into car fittings) are more complex - worth getting checked by a car seat specialist.
Multiple children? I can check all your child seats in one visit - makes sense to get them all verified at once.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why get help fitting a booster seat?
Honestly most are straightforward - sit it on the seat, belt goes through the guides. But if you're not confident, want to check it's positioned right for your child's size, or the belt routing is confusing, I can make sure it's done safely. Takes 15 minutes and you know it's right.
What type of booster seats can you fit?
Simple booster cushions, high-back boosters, or combination seats. As long as it's a belt-positioning booster (not an ISOFIX car seat - that's different), I can position it correctly and show you proper belt routing.
How do I know if the booster is fitted correctly?
The seat belt should cross the child's shoulder (not neck) and lap belt should be low across hips (not stomach). Booster should be stable on the car seat, not sliding around. If you're not sure, that's exactly when to get it checked.
Can you check if my existing booster seat is fitted right?
Yes - often people just want peace of mind that they've done it correctly. I can check positioning, belt routing, and that it's suitable for their child's age/size. Better to check than worry.
Do booster seats fit in all cars?
Most cars yes, but some have short seat belts or awkward belt anchor points that make boosters tricky. I'll check it fits your specific car properly and the belt routes correctly.
