Child car seat checking events

Parents and guardians are being urged to take action and protect their children by attending free car seat safety check events happening in the coming months across West Yorkshire.

Having your child seat checked takes minutes and presents a unique opportunity for parents and carers to meet with experts and make sure their children are safe when travelling.

Trained staff will assess the installation and overall safety of the seats as well as offer guidance and adjustments where needed, in a supportive and family-friendly environment.

No appointment is necessary. Anyone wanting to benefit just needs to attend one of the events which are taking place across the county.

The events have been organised by the West Yorkshire Vision Zero Partnership and will be run by Good Egg Safety CIC.

Children must normally use a child car seat until they’re 12 years old or 135 centimetres tall, whichever comes first.

Parents and guardians urged to double-check their child car seats

More than 60 per cent of child car seats were found to be incorrectly fitted at the check events which took place across West Yorkshire in 2024.

Out of 763 seats inspected across 25 events last summer, only 280 were deemed safe.

Read the full results from events in 2024.
