Child Restraint Test Fitting
📅 Book your baby seat installationContent overlap flag: this page covers substantially the same ground as your “Fitting 3 Across the Back Seat” guide built earlier this session — same core topic (three child restraints in one back seat), though this one is framed as a bookable test-fitting service specifically for a third child, while the other is a general educational guide. Worth deciding whether these should cross-link, or whether this service page should link out to the guide for the detailed measurement/seat-recommendation content instead of partially repeating it.
A child restraint test fitting is normally only required when you’re expecting your third child.
🪑 Fitting three car seats across
The reason for the car seat test fitting is to confirm it’s actually possible to get all three child restraints installed in the back seat.
In a lot of cases, this may mean you’ll need to change at least one — if not two — of your current child restraints, combined with a capsule. Before you approach the baby store, there are several tasks worth completing first, to make the process as quick and easy as possible.
📋 Preparation for restraint test fitting
Measure the width of your back seat
Check for bucket seats, and if present, how wide the wings are on each side of the back seat
Measure how wide your current child restraints are at their widest point
Check whether the centre position is raised (bucket seats) on either side
Check whether there’s a split in the back seat, especially in the centre position
A thorough child restraint test fitting can significantly reduce the risk of injury during a collision, and gives real peace of mind before you commit to buying anything new.
🚗 Understand your seats
It’s a good idea to schedule a child restraint test fitting before your new baby arrives. With all the measurements above, we can determine which child restraints you’ll need, and where each should sit across the back seat.
The test fitting costs $70. If you go ahead with the full three-across fitting afterwards, that $70 is deducted from the $145 fitting cost — making the fitting itself only $75.
