Gunnedah residents will also have another place to go for checks, with Tamworth being the only other option.
Liverpool Plains Shire Council (LPSC)'s Service NSW customer service officer Kay Brennan-Lee recently obtained a statement of attainment in selection and installation of child restraints, and will be conducting the checks at Quirindi Service NSW.

"Many parents/carers may not be aware that although they have the correct baby capsules or booster seats installed, if they are not correctly fitted it may negate their safety benefits," LPSC mayor Andrew Hope said.
"It only takes about 20 minutes for the inspection that can help provide peace of mind on this important issue."
The mayor urged parents and carers "to take advantage of this service to help protect their precious loved ones".
"All children must be safely fastened in the correct child car seat for their age and size," Cr Hope said.
"A child who is properly secured in an approved child car seat is less likely to be injured or killed in a car crash than one who is not."
Residents can book for the service by calling 6746 1755 during business hours.
At the launch of the new service, Ms Brennan-Lee was also presented with a letter of congratulations for excellence in customer service by LPSC general manager Ron Van Katwyk.
"Kay received a lovely commendation, from a member of the head office at Service NSW, for going above and beyond the call of duty to resolve a customer's issue," Mr Van Katwyk said.
"It is a great feeling when we can acknowledge and congratulate staff in situations like this, so a big thank you Kay for a job well done."
