car seat rules victoria

Ah, the thrilling world of car seat rules in Victoria—because nothing says excitement like child safety laws! In Victoria, kids under 7 must be secured in an appropriate child restraint or booster seat when in a car. Specifically, children under 6 months require a rear-facing restraint, while 6 months to 4 years should use a forward-facing seat with a harness. For those aged 4 to under 7 years, a booster seat is the law. Ignore these rules at your peril—fines and demerit points await. For the nitty-gritty details, always consult the official VicRoads website or ServiceCentral.
