1. The wearing of vehicle seat belts where fitted by all vehicle drivers and all vehicle passengers is a legal requirement, without exception. This includes the correct fitting and sizing of child seats. Children must normally use a child car seat until they’re 12 years old or 135 centimetres tall, whichever comes first. Children over 12 or more than 135cm tall must wear a seat belt. You can choose a child car seat based on your child’s height or weight. See below for more information
a. 0kg to 10kg 0 Lie-flat or ‘lateral’ baby carrier, rear-facing baby carrier, or rear-facing baby seat using a harness.
b. 0kg to 13kg 0+ Rear-facing baby carrier or rear-facing baby seat using a harness.
c 9kg to 18kg 1 Rear- or forward-facing baby seat using a harness or safety shield.
d. 15kg to 25kg 2 Rear- or forward-facing child car seat (high-backed booster seat or booster cushion) using a seat belt, harness or safety shield.
e. 22kg to 36kg 3 Rear- or forward-facing child car seat (high-backed booster seat or booster cushion) using a seat belt, harness or safety shield.
