Ballina Shire Council and Transport for NSW are offering 50 free vouchers valued at $66 for local families to get their child seats checked or installed at Dancer’s Car Care.

Ballina Shire residents can apply for a voucher online to cover the cost of car seat, restraint, harness or booster seat fitting. The vouchers are part of a road safety initiative to improve children’s safety in cars.

"Children are counting on us to make sure they are safe in cars. Sadly, many children are killed or injured in car crashes every year. Some of these deaths and injuries could be prevented by using the right kind of child car seats,” said Helen Carpenter, Road Safety Officer (Ballina Shire Council/ Transport for NSW).

"Using an age-appropriate and correctly fitted car seat greatly increases a child’s safety during a crash.

The free vouchers give parents and carers the opportunity to not only get their child restraint checked and fitted, but to ask questions and get advice about the best restraints for their child’s safety," Ms Carpenter explained.

Choosing an appropriate child restraint can be difficult, and must take into consideration the age and size of your child.
