what age can kids sit in front seat Page 4

In Australia, kids should ideally stay in the back seat until they are at least 7 years old. The law insists that children under 7 must be restrained in an approved child restraint or booster seat suitable for their age and size. Once past that, it’s safer to keep them in the rear seats as airbags and front-seat impacts pose a real risk. Remember, some states have slightly different rules, but 7 years is the general benchmark. Always check the latest from your local road authority and don’t skimp on quality child restraints—your car insurance might thank you later.
