I attended course 21742VIC unsure of what to expect. I have been installing and servicing child restraints for many years. I am currently accredited with RACV and VicRoads. The day was excellent, the content wide. I learnt a lot. I was able to speak with other people with front lline knowledge. The trainers delivery method was fantastic and the practical tasks were also wide and varied. Thank You ACRI.

As a past director of Hire for Baby with many years of experience as a baby equipment professional, I feel that the ACRI is a vital part of helping to promote and maintain the safest possible outcomes in child restraint use and safety for our children.

The ACRI is an invaluable part of the Australian Community. Our hat goes off to the people involved in spreading the word of this very worthwhile initiative!
We found this initiative originally because we wanted to offer the best possible service to our customers hiring child restraints from our business Travel Bubs. But for us at Travel Bubs it goes beyond that, being parents ourselves we are disgusted at how much mis-information is out there and truly believe every parent should be given the advise and training we received to at least be knowledgeable in an area of basic parenting. Safety is always at the forefront of parents minds if only they knew ACRI existed they could equip themselves adequately. Knowledge is power!!
Well done to the founders of ACRI- you deserve more than a pat on the back- you deserve a medal!

Thank you for your terrific delivery of the ACRI course. Despite dreary weather, late arrivers and no doubt a hectic week, you kept the day light and entertaining throughout. I found the course content pertinent, helpful and in some cases quite eye-opening. I have been installing/checking seats for my own three children over the last 12 years and realise now that I have been certainly underqualified for the position. I really enjoyed the anecdotes, I find this a terrific way to learn, and also that the trainer repeated the really important stuff throughout the day. The contact names and restraint information provided has proved invaluable, as are the new associations we made on the day. I leave the course with a whole new attitude to each car journey I make. Doing up car seats/adjustments are no longer the timewaster I mistakenly imagined them to bit be. Now it's the most important part of the journey. I hope in our business we can pass some of this newfound understanding to our clients.
I look forward to a long association with ACRI.

Founding Director, Rob Newman comments.
Professional approaches to child restraint issues have been thin on the ground. The ACRI goal is to step into a new and enlightened direction. Accurate communication is the key factor in dealing with the correct use of child restraints. EG: Complying with the instructions supplied with these products does not usually satisfy the parents safety concerns. Sterile test conditions executed by highly skilled engineers does not satisfy the real environment of child restaint use. The public need real help at all stages, not just for infants.
