Council, in partnership with the Roads and Maritime Services (RMS) has teamed up with Goulburn’s authorised RMS child restraint fitter Rapid Auto Repair to provide the service.
To get your seats checked for free simply come down to customer service in the Civic Centre at 184 Bourke Street, Goulburn to pick up your $30 voucher.
Car seats, harnesses and booster seats are all covered by the voucher.
Council’s Road Safety Officer Tracey Norberg encouraged anyone carrying younger children in a vehicle to book in for an inspection.
“Many families will be travelling great distances over the holidays and we want to ensure that our children are as safe as possible.
When used correctly, child safety car seats significantly reduce fatal injuries for infants and toddlers.
We services our cars, trailers and caravans before going on holidays, why not get your child restraints checked before heading off”
The suggested minimum height to use an adult lap sash seat belt is 145cm or taller. Children aged from seven years old but under 16 years old who are too small to be restrained by a seatbelt properly adjusted and fastened are strongly recommended to use an approved booster seat.
Once people have collected their vouchers they simply need to call Rapid Auto Repairs in Goldsmith Street on 4822 3222 to book in an appointment time.
