Free Child Restraint Checks: The annual free child restraint checking day will take place on Saturday, 25th June in the Bunnings carpark from 10am tp 2pm. Forbes Shire Council’s Road Safety and Injury Prevention Officer Melanie Suitor said: “The correct fitting and adjustment of child restraints is vital. Research shows that two out of three child restraints are not being used properly and this puts children at risk of injury in the event of a crash. Bookings are essential, phone 6861 2364 to secure your place. Information about the national child restraint laws, the types of restraints and advice on moving children from one restraint type to the next will be available.
