Families across the Eastern Suburbs with babies and young children are being encouraged to take advantage of the Randwick City Council Child Car Seat Rebate Program before funding runs out.
The popular program is closing soon, offering eligible Randwick residents a $50 rebate per child car seat fitting when installed by a Transport for NSW Authorised Fitter.
For busy parents juggling school drop-offs, daycare runs, sports and family outings, this is a great opportunity to save money while making sure your children are travelling as safely as possible.
How Eastern Suburbs Families Can Use This Program
If you live in the Randwick Council area and have recently had a baby seat or child car seat professionally fitted, you may be eligible to claim the rebate.
The process is simple:
- Book an appointment with a Transport for NSW Authorised Fitter
- Have your child car seat professionally installed
- Submit your documents online to claim your rebate
Eligible families can claim:
- $50 back per seat
- Up to $200 per household per year
3 Benefits for Families with Young Children
1. Helps Keep Children Safer on the Road
Correctly fitted car seats can significantly improve safety for babies and children while travelling. Professional fitters ensure seats are installed properly and securely according to NSW safety standards.
2. Saves Money for Growing Families
With the rising cost of raising children, every saving helps. Families with multiple young children can claim rebates on several seats, reducing the cost of professional installations.
3. Gives Parents Peace of Mind
Knowing your child’s car seat has been checked and fitted by an authorised professional provides reassurance every time you get behind the wheel — whether it’s the school run, weekend sport or family road trips.
What You’ll Need to Claim
Before applying, make sure you have:
✔️ A copy of your driver licence showing your Randwick address
✔️ A tax invoice showing the fitting cost
✔️ The NSW Government Service Receipt from the authorised fitter (address must match your licence)
Don’t Wait — Funding Is Running Out
The rebate program has been extremely popular and is expected to close soon once remaining funds are exhausted.
