Baby Restraint Fitters Melbourne - How to Choose a Fitter

Looking for Baby Restraint fitters in Melbourne, it is very hard to decide on who you should trust when it comes to the safety of your child in the car.

Child safety in cars is a complex area which many parents and even industry experts find difficult to keep up with. The only true way to be certain that you have the correct information is to contact an ACRI Accredited baby seat installer.

ACRI Fitters are trained to understand the customer experience and to provide the correct information to the customer when installing any kind of child restraint.

However once a ACRI fitter is trained then they need to complete at least 200 installations on multiple car types and multiple car seat types from different manufacturers before they can call themselves a Certified fitter.

The installation of the child restraint is only a small part of the service offered by the accredited ACRI baby seat fitter.

Accredited ACRI Fitters undergo continuous training from the car seat manufacturers to ensure the knowledge of the ACRI Fitter is kept up to date with the latest car seats which are being released and updated to the current standards.

Registered ACRI car seat fitters also stay updated with the latest information regarding recall of baby car seats, new standards being introduced and the impact upon parents potential issues whic mums and dads discuss on social media. The only way in which ACRI Restraint Fitters can do this is through an active Network within the ACRI.

Did you know that ACRI is the only active organisation to promote ongoing training and keep their accredited baby restraint fitters updated with issue impacting your childs safety.

In Victoria, at present there is no active network for the motoring organisation and currently there is no training being offered to the motoring organisations.

It is highly likely that mechanic has NO TRAINING on installing a child restraint and will not have specific insurance for child restraint installation.

Child restraint Laws

An Accredited baby restraint installer understands what the law is with respect to babies and children travelling in cars, They have the experience to know what the laws are within your state and how they will apply to your children. In many cases the law can be confusing in that it may say that child should be rear facing until they are 6 months of age.

However from a practicality perspective, a child of 6 months does not have the strength to site upright and hold the body tense in the event of sudden braking. An accredited child restraint fitter understands this and will explain the issues with respect to your child.


A similar issue may happen when a child is approaching the average age for moving into using an adult seat-belt. The law may specify that the child needs to be 7 years of age but if the child is very small then they may be 8 or 9 years of age before the child will be ready to use an adult seat belt.

Use the 5 Step test to determine if your child is ready for an adult seat belt.

Baby Carseat Fitting Hawthorn Review

Just want to let you now that my daughter recently needed to have her baby carseat fitted urgently, and we went to the local baby shop, I explained the sitaution and they explained that they do not do child restraint fitting there but can send me to one of their other stores on Wednesday. I tried to explain that we need this done ASAP and that Wednesday was way too late for us. Additional to this we then needed to travel an further  25 minutes just to get to the other store.

We did our research on womo and found Anthony, who offers a  mobile baby car seat fitting service at your home or office and had great reviews at womo.

We were very surprised that someone would come to our home, install the baby car seat and then take the time to explain how the baby capsule worked, when we need to change over from a baby capsule to a normal child restraint and ensuring we were at ease with the operation of the baby carrier.

Service Summary - Child Restraint Fitting in Hawthorn

No matter where you live, Hawthorn, Camberwell, Malvern or even places like Prahran or Ashburton; I recommend Anthony with 5 stars, highest product knowledge regarding baby car seats, and he is able to work to your schedule, so that you are not stressing trying to get everything done.

Best of all he gave me a Safety check list card which he wrote to help mums and dads remember the most important aspects of using your baby capsule in the car

Baby Capsule Installation

The Baby capsule installation service offered by many so called accredited child restraint fitters does not marry up to the best practices. There are some shops and car seat fitters who tell mothers that they need a certificate to take to the hospital and that they are the on approved list of suppliers.

FACT : The  Hospital will not ask you for a certificate for the installation of the Baby capsule nor will the hospital want to inspect to ensure the baby capsule has been installed according to some hospital standard


MYTH : Some Baby Capsule fitters will tell you that you must use a baby capsule initially until the child is of 6 months of age.

FACT : A Baby \Capsule allows you to take the child in and out of the car easily and attach the carrier to a select number of prams including the iCandy, however depending on the parents, you may only be in the capsule for 5-7 week until the child outgrows the baby carrier. At which point the child you would transition to a rear facing convertible car-seat such as the INFA KOMPRESSOR, which allows you to keep your child rear facing up to 24 months (based on the 50th percentile).Ntorso lengthow with the update of the Australian standards te Infa Quattro will keep you child resar facing for up to 30 months of age (39 cm )

You can however have your child in a convertible car-seat from birth in a INFA Quattro and the child is just as safe as in a carrier

I want my baby capsule installed in the safest position in the car - the center position in the rear seat

FACT : The positional choice is dependent upon a number of factors some of these factors include

1/ Bucket seats on either side of the center position, this raised the position of the middle seat meaning that there is a dip on either side causing the center position to be unstable

2/ Narrow Center position,  may cause buckle crunch when the baby capsule/ child restraint is placed in the middle position, making it unsuitable to be installed in the center position

3/ Split seats, when the child is rear facing and there is a split seat, then it will not be possible to install a baby capsule/ child restraint in the center position

4/ Some cars will have design issues preventing the installation of the baby capsule/ child restraint into the center eg holden captiva

5/ Older cars may only have an anchor point on either side but not in the middle position thus preventing the installation of a child restraint in the middle position

IF the mother has had a c-section then the middle position is also unsuitable for the installation of the baby capsule/ child restraint
