There has been considerable discussion in the Australian mainstream media about updating our regulations to allow for rearward facing child restraints for larger infants, but right now these restraints are not approved and consequently not available in Australia. Nonetheless, models that allow children up to 12 kg to travel rearward facing should be considered seriously by Australian parents because they may provide better safety than a forward facing model. I say “may” because there are many different models available, and they are not all equal. The organisation CREP (Child Restraint Evaluation Program) is tasked with assessing the safety of different models available in Australia, and produce a brochure summarising their child restraint test results for different models.

Note that these design rules may change in Australia in the future, and any overseas readers should seek local information.

It’s sitting in my lounge room still in it’s box, as the whole process of setting it up was too daunting! After reading your tips though I might give it ago tomorrow. Thank you!

Please before you put your 8kg baby in a forward facing seat recommended for children between 2 and 6 years of age, please have a look at this link: http://youtu.be/sssIsceKd6U
