Children less than six months to be secured in an approved, properly fastened and adjusted, rear facing kid restraint, such as an infant capsule. Children from six months to less than four years must be secured in an approved, properly fastened and adjusted, rear facing child restraint or a forward facing child restraint with an inbuilt harness. Children aged from four years to less than seven years must wear an approved, properly fastened and adjusted, forward facing child restraint with inbuilt harness or an approved booster seat which is properly positioned and fastened and. From seven years of age children can travel in a car secured in either: a booster seat. The new Victorian road safety laws relate to children up to seven years worn drifting in vehicles with two or more rows of seats. Children under four years will not be allowed to travel in the front seat of a vehicle with two or more rows and. Children aged between four and less than seven years will not be allowed to travel in the fore seat of a vehicle with two or more rows, unless all other back seats are filled by children lower seven years of age. As there are slight differences in the road rules in each state it is at the moment unclear how all states will adopt the National Road Safety Laws or there time frame for implementation. This reform responds to calls from road safety experts, police and local communities for a stronger minimum standard. Research shows that younger children are not correctly restrained when they move to a booster too premature or when they are just sitting on the vehicle seat using the seat belt. Experts suggest that children are moving too hasty into inappropriate restraint such as booster seats and seat belts, which are not appropriate for their weight and height and therefore increase the risk of injury. In announcing the changes the Victorian government stated that seating children aged four to seven years worn in an appropriate booster seat reduces their risk of injury in a crash by almost 60 per cent, compared to sitting with only an adult seat belt. The Victorian government stated that the Government was alerting people premature of the implementation of the fresh rules to allow parents and carers adequate time to get ready for the Changes. SafenSound advocate that those parents and carers who already have the appropriate kid restraints or booster seats, begin succeeding the new rules now, to make safe young passengers are as sound as possible when they travel. SafenSound believes that other State and Territory governments will also produce a period of adjustment, to permit parents to prepare for the changes. What are the penalties for not complying? We believe the Victorian government will remain with the current penalties for non compliance with the restraint laws which includes a fine of 255 and three demerit points. At this time it is obscure when police will begin to enforce these laws. The proposed National Road Safety Laws govern use of the product not the design and specification. To assist you and your customers select the right SafenSound product for your child we have prepared the included guide. Are there any exemptions to these new road safety laws? Taxis will continue to be exempt from the child restraint requirements. When there is no pertinent kid restraint available a seat belt must be worn. The new laws aim to cater for the majority of children however there is a provision to allow a child who is too high or dense for the recommended restraint to use the restraint in the next age category. Vehicles with only one row of seats are immune from the requirement that the child must sit in the rear seat.
