Seats, restraints 45
Booster seats
Booster seats are for when children
outgrow a typical forward facing child
seat, but are still too small for three
point seat belts.
Older children
A child should use a normal three
point seat belt only when:
• They can sit against the back of
the rear seat with knees bent
comfortably at the edge of
the seat.
• The lap belt rests low and snug
across the hips, not across the
stomach.
• The sash belt is centred on the
shoulder and chest.
• They are able to stay seated like
this for the entire trip.
Young children
Forward facing child seats are for
use when the child is able to sit and
easily hold their head upright.
It is also possible to purchase
convertible seats which can be used
as a rearward facing infant restraint
or converted to a forward facing
child seat.
