Child Restraint Services

Over the past 20 years Mobility Engineering has been passionately working within the Child Restraints and Child Car Seats Industry.  Throughout this time Mobility Engineering has been providing expert technical support services, training in the correct use and fitment of restraints and assisting with design and testing for restraint manufacturers.

Looking at restraints from an engineering and vehicle safety point of view, we have always found that our view and understanding of restraints and child restraint safety in vehicle accident situations to be quite different to the generic child products industry view and understanding of child restraints. With our understanding of vehicle dynamics, restraint safety and design we are able to provide you with a lot of education around the use and effects of child restraints in a vehicle.  The following areas are where we specialise in this industry and there are some handy resources at the bottom of the page as well

Please contact our office at 02 9482 4572 and speak to our restrains team to learn more about what services we offer.
