age for booster seat

In Australia, children typically graduate to a booster seat when they are between 4 to 7 years old, depending on their size and weight. The law generally requires kids to use a booster until they are tall enough (usually around 145 cm) to properly fit an adult seatbelt. Booster seats help position the seatbelt correctly over the child's shoulder and lap, preventing those delightful bruises and internal injuries from an ill-fitting belt.

Always check the manufacturer’s guidelines and state-specific regulations for the safest transition. For a range of options, you might want to browse Tradingpost or CarShowroom for new and used booster seats.
