Booster seat fitted and checked for safety. Correct positioning, proper belt routing, stable and secure for your child.
Sure Your Child's Booster Seat Is Right?
Most parents fit booster seats fine. But there's that nagging doubt - is the belt really in the right position? Is this actually safe?
Especially when:
- Instructions are vague
- Belt routing looks odd
- Seat seems to slide around
- Child's grown since you set it up
- You've changed cars
Get it checked and know it's right.
💡 Pro tip: If the shoulder belt crosses your child's neck or the lap belt sits on their stomach, the booster isn't positioned right or they're not big enough for it yet.
Why Check It Matters
| ✅ Correct Setup | ❌ Wrong Position |
|---|---|
| Shoulder belt on shoulder | Belt across neck (unsafe) |
| Lap belt low across hips | Belt on soft stomach (dangerous in crash) |
| Booster stable | Slides in braking |
| Right for child's size | Too soon for booster |

What to Expect

Step 3: Safety Check
Verify belt crosses shoulder and hips correctly, booster is stable, nothing will slip or slide in braking.
🔧 DIY Tips
🔧 Self-check guide Test yourself:
- Shoulder belt crosses chest/shoulder (not neck)
- Lap belt low across hips (not stomach)
- Booster doesn't slide forward when pushed
- Child sits all the way back in booster
- Belt isn't twisted
- Rear seat only (airbags dangerous)
If all yes, you're probably fine. If any no, get it checked.
⚠️ Red flags
- Belt crosses child's neck
- Lap belt on stomach
- Booster slides around
- Child's chin on chest when belt on
- Active airbag in front of booster
💡 Know when to upgrade: When child's shoulders are above the booster's shoulder guides, or their ears are above the head rest, time for next size up or no booster needed.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
👶 Too young for booster? If under 4 years old or under 15kg, they need a proper car seat with harness, not a booster. I'll advise honestly.
Different for each child: Even siblings might need different setups - bigger kids might be ready for just the belt, smaller ones still need boosters. Each child assessed individually.
Free recheck: If your child grows or you change cars, call me back for a free recheck - takes 5 minutes and keeps them safe.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is booster seat fitting really necessary?
Not always - many people fit them fine themselves. But if you're not confident, want expert verification it's right, or the instructions are confusing, getting it checked properly is worth it for your child's safety. Takes 15 minutes and you know it's done right.
What's the difference between this and the other booster seat service?
Nothing really - same service, just listed twice to help people find it. I check your booster seat is positioned correctly for your child's size and the seat belt routes safely.
Can you fit any type of child seat?
This service covers simple booster seats (the ones that just use the car's seat belt). Full car seats with ISOFIX or their own harnesses are more specialist - worth going to a dedicated car seat fitter for those.
Will you tell me if the booster seat is wrong for my child?
Yes absolutely - if your child is too small/young for a booster and needs a proper car seat instead, I'll tell you honestly. Safety matters more than making a sale.
Can you check multiple child seats in one visit?
Yes - if you've got multiple kids with boosters or want all your child seats checked, I can do them all in one visit. Makes sense to get everything verified at once.
