Statistics state more than 70% of Child Restraints are fitted incorrectly. The Road Toll and related vehicle safety concerns are in the interest of all members of the community. Education, as always is the starting point for improvement. 

The introduction of legislation for mandatory use of seat belts, had a dramatic positive effect on passenger survival rates in motor vehicle accidents. The safety objective for correct installation of child restraints is consistent with what the seatbelt legislation achieved. The point of difference is the correct installation and maintenance of child restraints is not as simple as buckling a passenger into a seatbelt. 

SIM’s drive is to deliver real and measurable positive impact through the delivery of an ongoing professional service. Every child restraint handled by our professional installers will minimise the risk associated with road trauma.

Our experience comes from installing more than 10,000 child restraints per annum across a broad spectrum of the community. What this experience tells us is the greatest way to improve restraint safety is the physical process of doing repeat installs. This gives a professional a much greater ability to perform the task correctly day in, day out. Education is important to let people know what to look for and to be aware of the risks. After every install our experienced staff take the time to run through the safe use and ongoing maintenance with the parent or carer. From this we highlight what to look for to ensure continued safe use of the seat.
