🚗 Did you know? In Queensland, it’s the law that children must stay in an approved rear-facing restraint until they’re at least 6 months old. After that, they can legally move to a forward-facing seat if they’re ready—but many modern convertible car seats allow children to remain rear-facing much longer, which is considered the safest option. 👶💙
What’s the difference between a 0–4 and a 0–8 car seat?
✅ 0–4 years – Designed from birth through to approximately 4 years, with extended rear-facing and then forward-facing with an inbuilt harness.
✅ 0–8 years – Starts the same way, but continues growing with your child by converting into a booster seat, giving you one seat that can last right through to around 8 years of age.
Every child is different, so the best seat depends on your little one’s height, weight, your vehicle, and your family’s lifestyle.
