What if I can't afford a child restraint fitting?

We understand that times are tough at the moment for a lot of Australian families, especially those caring for young children. This means some families might not be able to spend money for child restraint fittings, even though a lot would like to.  It’s still important though to a lot of families to make sure their child restraint is fitted correctly, and that they feel comfortable using and adjusting it.

What do I do if I can’t afford to pay for a child restraint fitting?

The good news is that some local councils and a number of charities throughout Sydney provide free child restraint fittings for residents in their local areas.  Baby Clean & Safe are proud to be a part of such community initiatives, working with families, caregivers, and stakeholders to help ensure more equitable access to the services we provide.  Below is a list of a number of local councils and charities that provide free child restraint fitting days:
