In Victoria, seat belts aren’t a fashion choice—they’re mandatory for drivers and passengers wherever they’re fitted.
Drivers are responsible for making sure passengers under 16 are properly restrained, because apparently adults need supervision.
Child restraints: under 6 months rear-facing; 6 months–under 4 rear or forward-facing with harness; 4–under 7 forward-facing or booster; 7+ use a properly fitted adult belt (booster if they’re still too small).
Under 4s can’t sit in the front if there’s a back seat; ages 4–7 can only go up front if the rear seats are full of under‑7s.
One person per belt, worn properly across shoulder and lap—no armpit gymnastics.
Fines and demerit points apply, so follow the rules and check VicRoads for the latest details.
