Over half of child car seats at 56% checked by the Road Safety Authority's Check it Fits service were incorrectly fitted and needed some type of adjustment to make them a safe fit.
If a child's car seat isn't fitted correctly, it could lead to a serious or fatal injury in the event of a collision.
The RSA are offering face-to-face child car seat checking service visiting locations around the country after a two-year absence due to the Covid 19 pandemic and is coming to Monaghan next Tuesday and Wednesday.
To help address this problem, the RSA Check it Fits service will be visiting every country over the coming months, to help parents and ensure car seats and restraints are correctly fitted.
Lead Checker of the RSA's Check it Fits service, Ron Richardson has been telling our reporter Ronan Gargan all about free service that is offered to motorists.
