In Queensland, the law is as clear as a sunny day at the beach: children must use an appropriate child car restraint until they turn 7 years old. This means toddlers need rear-facing seats, then booster seats as they grow. After 7, seat belts take over, but common sense suggests keeping them in a booster until they're tall enough for the belt to fit properly. Fines and demerit points await those who dare flout these rules.
It’s a good call to check out Tradingpost or CarShowroom for secondhand car seats and restraints, but always ensure they meet current safety standards and aren't expired or damaged—because kid safety isn’t a joke. For the nitty-gritty, Queensland’s Department of Transport and Main Roads website is your best mate.
