car seat requirements vic

In Victoria, car seat requirements are as strict as a bouncer at a nightclub. Kids up to 6 months must be in a rearward-facing seat, toddlers between 6 months and 4 years need a forward-facing seat with a harness, and children aged 4 to 7 years must use a booster seat. After 7, the regular seatbelt will suffice, but only if it fits properly; otherwise, keep the booster until it does. The law is clear: no exceptions, and fines are as inevitable as Melbourne rain.
