24.01.2022 A good reminder. Keep kids in the back seat until 12-13years old. It is 70% safer! Airbags are designed for adults around 150cm tall. Front airbags are NOT added safety for children...They can kill

23.01.2022 Did you know most oversnow taxis at Mt Buller have Anchor points? Adelyn on our last trip travelled safely on the mountain including up the snow covered stairs to our snow buried accommodation. Yay Ski season will be allowed to start from 22nd June! #mtbuller #infasecure

23.01.2022 Baby got shade for sale all prints in stock (currently sold out of plain black) $25 each. Help reduce sun glare. Still allow the driver to see through Fun prints for kids but also allow view to the outside. Appear black from the outside of the car.... You cut to size to fit your vehicle See more

22.01.2022 Please please please contact me before you purchase seats. Just because the packaging may say from 6 months-8 years etc does not mean it is the safest option for the child. When you book in for an installation I get you to tell me the age of children and type of seat you have so I can advise if it is suitable. Please dont be offended if I give you recommendations to exchange the seat. Remember I work as a midwife/nurse so dont do this job for the money...I do it to keep k...ids as safe as possible. I want clients to be fully informed about their choice before I install a seat, and although I dont recommend kids under 2 forward face at all, or kids under 8 in Lap sash boosters I will still install it provided they meet the entry markers and AFTER I have sent you information about what is the safer option. Extended rearfacing and extended harnessing saves lives! See more

22.01.2022 Just because something is Legal does NOT mean it is safe. Ensure you follow height markers of the seats and continue to use a child restraint/booster until the child is 145cm tall OR 12years of age (when the pelvic bones have strengthened and the seatbelt can sit in a safer position on the bones than across the soft tissue)

22.01.2022 When we were trialling carseats pre COVID with Geelong Car Seat Installations and our little models were hungry...nice and easy to keep them all together ...Buckled in their seats

20.01.2022 Time to get their seats right is now...not later

19.01.2022 A couple of quick tips for ensuring your childs harness has the right fit

19.01.2022 OUCH. See how rearfacing vs forward facing impacts look on a grown adult....now imagine that on your 3 year old whos spine hasnt fused into a solid ring yet until 4-6years old. This is why it is so important to keep kids rearfacing

18.01.2022 Sorry to announce I will not be taking any further bookings until further notice. Going to do my part to help flatten the curve of COVID-19 by practicing social distancing. For baby got shade window shades Im happy to arrange to leave it at my mail box for you. Dont hesitate to inbox me for questions or information about carseats. ... For more information explaining why social distancing is important Ill have a link in the comments that has very easy to follow demonstrations. Lets all do our part to help lessen the risk for the most vulnerable in our community.

18.01.2022 3 rearfacing in a Ford territory ages 1 in an infasecure quattro 3 and 2 years old in the infasecure grandeur. Not currently doing installations due to social distancing but BABY GOT SHADE window shades still for sale with contactless pick up $25each! Bank transfer or paypal preferred method during this COVID19 time (however cash accepted).

17.01.2022 About to bring your newborn baby home from hospital? As seen in this picture to get a more tight fit remove the shoulder padding and try these few tips to ensure they are snug and safe. Along with getting your carseat checked or installed by a qualified installer

17.01.2022 On a budget but need a seat to suit any of the following..: 1 seat from birth until 8-10years Slim seat (easy to fit 3across ) Easy adjust headrest/harness (no need to uninstall to adjust) Best recline when forward facing (has 9 options of recline) ... Easy to clean fabric without uninstalling (uses press studs) Offers both extended rearfacing AND extended harnessing. Ability to swap between different aged kids each day with ease (e.g. grandparents or family day carers) The infasecure emperor is $399 at big w with free click and collect (or around $14 postage). Its also sold at different stores under alternative names with changes of fabrics and extras "grandeur" "titanium" "achieve" "cadence" but all the same shell *Note for small cars it may not fit well rearfacing without moving the front seat forward due to the large rearfacing depth.

17.01.2022 Send me a message if youd like recommendations for seats that extended harness or extended rearface.

15.01.2022 Some of the cute shades I stock Also have Rockets, flamingos and plain black. 80x60cm cut to size to fit your vehicle reduce sun glare appear black on the outside, still complete visibility for driver to see through. ... #babygotshade Pick up Bannockburn or can post $12 currently out of stock :Plain Black & dinosaurs but please register your interest so I know to order more if wanting these designs Carseat installs reopen on 28th of September message to book in now

15.01.2022 Cigarette smoking is legal from 18 years old... Just because something has a legal minimum does not mean it is safe.

15.01.2022 Is your child ready to be out of their booster seat? Remember they should pass the 5 step test to safely fit an adult seatbelt.

15.01.2022 Carseat install appointments are a little different now with social distancing and masked faces. But still the same quality install! Book in via message and state your preferred time and day and I will work an appointment out that suits. I never charge cancellation fees or rescheduling fees so rest assured if you are unwell or have ANY symptoms of COVID I will reschedule once you are well. I will send through a list of questions I need answered prior to the install:) ... Thankyou for your co-operation See more

15.01.2022 2 NEW DESIGNS of Baby Got Shade. Koalas and Rockets $25 each. Now offering shipping at a flat rate of $10 (or pick up Bannockburn) Baby Got Shade car window shades are designed to reduce direct sun glare whilst ensuring complete safety for the driver. These perforated shades are super thin so you can still wind your window all the way down yet also block out 65% of UV. Suitable for all cars as they come in a sheet measuring 60cm tall x 80cm wide, just cut to fit your windows.

14.01.2022 When your rearfacing toddler is quiet and has kicked the mirror so you cant see them... theyve either finally fallen asleep or up to something.

14.01.2022 And please make sure it is attached to the CORRECT anchor point, not a luggage tie down point (these look similar but their weight ratings are VERY different)

12.01.2022 Over the years Jodie ( Geelong Car Seat Installations ) and I have aimed to provide a very cheap installation service (many others charging $45+ per seat). We have both found that we now need to amend our price list. Carseat installations will now be $30 per seat install compared to the previous $20. Changes will be effective from when we are able to re open hopefully in the next few weeks. Please if you have any concerns dont hesitate to contact us and we can work something out together. *Shades available from Buckleup only at the moment

12.01.2022 YES THIS IS SAFE. In fact it is 5x safer than sitting forward facing. Inbox me to arrange a time to get your carseats installed or checked

12.01.2022 Baby got shade unicorns! Fun prints that reduce sun glare. Driver can still see out the window clearly and the window can still function. Appears black from the outside. 80x60cm cut to size to fit your window.... $25each inbox me to arrange collection. (Include your address in case I am passing by so can drop it off) See more

12.01.2022 Long drives home from camping trips with Adelyn still rearfacing at 2.5years means she can sleep comfortably without headflop and is 5x safer than if she was forward facing. Yes there were many times she HATED the car rides but we persisted (or limited our drives) as we knew the risks of forward facing. She now understands the safety and is happy to buckle up...most times (some bribes needed occasionally ;) ).

12.01.2022 Important reason why to always use the correct restraint for your childs age and height. Rearface under 4years, harness up until 8-10years, booster until 145cm or 12years old. Max out their current seat before moving to the next restraint. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=210762353502794&id=100037070930573

11.01.2022 Hi everyone With the infections of Covid-19 rising, Ive made the decision to close again until further notice. Anyone that has an appointment booked can still come as arranged, but I wont be able to accept any more bookings... I am still happy to answer questions via inbox and can provide gated buckles, extension straps, window shades etc via contactless pick up. Thank you for your support, hopefully Ill see you back before the end of the year! Stay safe and stay home

10.01.2022 Baby got shade in motion :) You can see it reduces sun glare(2nd photo), can still allow the child and driver to see out AND the window still functions (1st photo) $25 each Bank transfer preferred with contactless pickup at Cullen court bannockburn

09.01.2022 Unicorns in action BABY GOT SHADE still available for contactless collection. $25 each. All prints available. (Carseat installations are still temporarily closed due to social distancing practices)

08.01.2022 The Poem shown can definitely be applied to carseat safety as well. Yesterday I posted a photo of my toddler in a carseat on our ride on lawn mower. Please be aware Children and Lawnmowers are not a safe mix. I was contacted by a previous client who happens to be an ex paediatric trauma nurse who has seen what can happen when children and Lawnmowers or Quad bikes mix. So I have deleted that post as to not cause confusion with safety messages. ... I want to mention how grateful I am to have been sent a message regarding the risks.She was so apologetic, yet she shouldnt have to be... she was aware of a risk and let me know. The same goes with carseats If you see a photo of someone incorrectly using a carseat PLEASE speak up (privately message them)...they may just be unaware of the risk. Dont presume they already know.

08.01.2022 Do you have have a new addition arriving to the family and realised your car doesnt have an extra anchor point/any anchor points... Dont sell the car just yet.... Many vehicles can actually be engineered to have anchor points installed or CRAB bars to enable extra child restraints. Check with your cars manufacturer if you can have extras installed.

07.01.2022 Until we hear more about the new 'COVID normal', to make booking an appointment for a carseat install or FREE check faster please view and respond to the pre appt checklist via messenger. Jodie from Geelong Car Seat Installations and I are both midwives therefore need to ensure the utmost safety for your families, our families and families we care for. Thankyou for your co-operation.

07.01.2022 Unfortunately been in a car accident? Dont risk it. Replace the seats

06.01.2022 Adelyns only just turned 2 and knows how much safer rearfacing is :D

04.01.2022 LONG POST WITH GOOD NEWS As Covid-19 restrictions ease around the country, I will be re-opening for installations from Tuesday the 12th of May. This will be with strict guidelines which are outlined below. These guidelines are to keep you safe, along with me and my family. I will be prioritising appointments for pregnant women who need a car seat installed to get home from hospital. (I am located ONSITE in Bannockburn and Jodie Geelong Car Seat Installations is located on...site in Wandana Heights) Information required prior to appointment via inbox: Name Phone Rego Car make and model Car seat model/s Age of child/children Seated height of children (I will send a photo of how to measure this) Confirmation of no fever/cold/cough/flu symptoms in past 14 days Confirmation of no contact with a confirmed case of Covid-19. Recommended to have downloaded the CovidSafe app (screenshot etc) If you are happy with the above guidelines, I am happy to install seats for you. If not, I can refer to somewhere that has less strict guidelines. During the CONTACTLESS appointment the following rules will apply: Only the cars driver to attend appointment (including no children) Car to be parked inside the gate (I will open it when its your appt time) Please wait on the other side of gate ( >1.5m away from me and the car ) while I install the seat/s to maintain proper social distancing I will be wearing disposable gloves which will be changed between each client Payment via bank transfer Thank-you for your cooperation in these strange and uncertain times!

03.01.2022 Book in now via inbox letting me know your preferred time of day and either weekend or weekday:)

03.01.2022 Since 2013 Australian car seats have been labelled with height markers rather than weight limits. This gives a visual guide to show when your child has outgro...wn each stage of their car seat. The law outlines the BARE MINIMUM in terms of moving to the next stage of seat (i.e, it's legal to forward face from 6 months old) but it is MUCH SAFER to max out the markers and each stage of the car seat. A step up in stage, is a step down in safety. 1 Rear facing is safer than forward facing 2 Forward facing is safer than a booster 3 A booster is safer than only a lap-sash belt Message me with photos of your child in their seat if you would like advice on what would be safest for them

01.01.2022 Brrr with cold weather still here please remember to remove thick jumpers and puffer vests before buckling up. Pictured demonstrates how although the harness looks tight with the puffer vest on...when the vest was removed without loosening the harness it shows how much slack there was! In an impact the large jackets and puffer coats compress causing this slack leading to the child potentially being ejected from the seat. Place a blanket (or their jacket) over their lap once the harness is buckled tight.

01.01.2022 Having a tall child doesn't mean they will outgrow car seats quickly or need to be turned forward facing early...It all depends on their torso/seated height not overall height. Car seat installs available. Send a message now to book an appt
