Just Look At The Joie Car Seat

Feel free to share, because this perfectly shows how important it is for your child’s car seat to be installed properly. Just LOOK at our Joie Stages car seat!! For those who don’t know, my partner was involved in a horrific car accident last week. Luckily, he survived and will make a full recovery.

The front tyre burst, causing the car to flip, roll, and land in a large fence. Thankfully myself and our children were not in the car at the time. We had our three car seats installed by Brian at the RSA’s Check It Fits service in September last year, and while everything in the car has been completely destroyed, the Joie Stages had not budged AT ALL.

Not even moved an inch, and still as tight as it was when installed 8 months ago! I had removed our other two car seats to clean them just hours before it happened, and decided not to remove that one as it was so solid and secure.

Even after a crash as horrific as this, the car seat being just as solid as day one really shows the level of expertise, precision and care that both Ron and Brian put into their work. The Check It Fits is a FREE service, and available nationwide. Run by the Road Safety Authority, they install your child’s car seat safely and securely, abiding by car seat laws, and they also show you how to ensure your child’s straps are secure enough on them. Please, if you haven’t already, be sure to check them out to see when they’ll be next in your area. A properly installed car seat WILL save your child’s life.
