Plunket Car Seat Service
Hi, my name is Tonia Scoullar. I am a registered child restraint
technician and have worked for the Plunket Car Seat Service for
11 years. I enjoy helping and advising families about car seats
for their children from new born right through to booster seats.
I am excited to be bringing the car seat service to The Hub from
3rd September. I will be there on Thursdays from 9.15am until 12
noon to give advice on car seats, when children can move from a
child seat to a booster, how long to keep babies rear facing and
any other questions you might have around car seat safety. You
will be able to hire or buy a car seat from us and redeem Seen
and Safe vouchers.
I will also be available to talk to any groups that want to know
more about car seats and keeping children safe on our roads.
Look out for me in the reception area where I will be set up. I will
be wearing my bright orange hi vis vest.
Appointments can be made at The Hub reception - I am looking
forward to meeting you all.
