The RSA ‘Check it Fits’ Service is coming to Louth! The Road Safety Authority (RSA) has introduced a new, free service in response to a frightening statistic that shows that as many as 4 out of 5 child car seats are incorrectly fitted which can result in serious injury or worse, a fatality in the event of a collision. Since October 2013, the RSA’s ‘Check it Fits’ Service has checked over 4,000 child car seats and restraints in Ireland. Of these, 83% required some adjustment. Worryingly, 79% of seats required a major adjustment, of which 3% were deemed not fit for purpose and condemned, meaning they could have caused injury or even death in the event of a collision. The ‘Check it Fits’ Service is a full-time, nationwide, free expert service which aims to put parent’s, grandparent’s and guardian’s minds at ease that their child’s car seat is safely and securely fitted in their car. The service is quick, it’s easy, it’s free and it has arrived Louth where our experts will advise on how to fix any problem, demonstrate how to fit the restraint correctly and answer any queries participants might have. We will be visiting the following locations in Louth in February: Supermarket Street Name Town Date Time Centra Dundalk, Oriel Service Station Dublin Road Dundalk 25th February 10.00am – 5.30pm Laney’s SuperValu Ash Walk Ardee 27th February 10.00am – 5.30pm We would be delighted if you could help us to raise awareness of child safety in cars by letting colleagues, friends, family members and any other relevant contacts know about our upcoming visit to Louth.
