Free Child Car Seat Checking Service

Not all seats fit all cars. Devon County Council’s Road Safety Team can check your child’s car seat is correctly fitted in your vehicle and offer advice on the fitting and buying of appropriate child car seats.This is a FREE service and operates on an appointment only basis at the Devon Drivers’ Centre, Westpoint, Exeter. The service is available the first Wednesday of every month between 9.30am and 12.00 midday.

The Road Safety Team will check that:

• The seat is suitable for your vehicle
• The seat is securely fitted
• The seat is appropriate for your child
• Your child is securely held in the seat, (so if possible, please bring your child too!)

To arrange an appointment for your child's car seat to be checked: telephone: 0845 155 1004 or e-mail: rshelp@devon.gov.uk
