victoria car seat laws

Ah, the thrilling world of Victorian car seat laws—because apparently, your toddler’s safety is non-negotiable. Here’s the lowdown: children under 6 months must be in a rear-facing seat, while those from 6 months to under 4 years should use an approved child restraint or booster seat. Kids aged 4 to under 7 need to be in either a booster seat or a child restraint, and from 7 years onwards, seat belts are your new best friends. It's all about keeping the ankle-biters strapped in properly to minimize injuries. Remember, these laws aren’t just suggestions; flouting them can cost you a fine and demerit points.
