The RSA will provide a car seat fitting service in Supervalu stores in Cork this week.
It comes as they say that over half of children's car seats are not fitted correctly.
The "check it fits survey" showed that while over half of car seats were fitted incorrectly, 30% needed a major adjustment to assure the child was safe and secure, while 67% of car seats had twisted seatbelts and loose fittings.
The RSA will be providing free-of-charge walk-in appointments at Supervalu's in Cobh, Carrigaline, and Fermoy on the 13th, 14th, and 15th of December.
Speaking to RedFM News, Aisling Sloyan, Senior Road Safety Promotion Officer of the RSA says ensuring seatbelts are fitted correctly is the best way to ensure the child's safety.
