The RSA is warning that an incorrectly fitted car seat could lead to serious or fatal injury in the event of a collision.
The service will be available in Monaghan from 10am to 5.30pm today at Flemings Department Store, Church Square, Monaghan.
The service takes between 10-15 minutes, is free of charge and is a walk-in service, no appointment is needed.
Tomorrow, experts will be also available at Aldi in Cavan Town to fix problems and answer questions surrounding the fitting of a child’s car seat.
