FREE CAR SEAT CHECKS

Upper Hutt City Council

👶 Parents, grandparents, whānau - are the children in your car safe?

👶 Is your child’s car seat installed correctly?

Most children are restrained when in a vehicle but experts report that around 80% of the restraints used are not installed correctly or are not appropriate for the child.


We've partnered with Upper Hutt Plunket and local restraint technicians to run car seat clinics at Upper Hutt Plunket in Logan St.

Friday 7 October 10.00am - 2.00pm
Friday 18 November 10.00am - 2.00pm
Friday 2 December 10.00am - 2.00pm

Most children are restrained when in a vehicle BUT around 80% of child restraints are found to be incorrectly installed or not appropriate for the child.

A child restraint installed incorrectly = an unsafe child.

A qualified restraint technician will do a FREE safety check.

Bookings essential as spaces are limited

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
