Baby Car Seat

General information, not safety advice. This website publishes general information only. It is not safety advice, legal advice, product certification, or a substitute for the restraint label, the manufacturer instructions, or a fitting by an authorised restraint fitter. Child restraint laws are set by each state and territory and can change. Check your own jurisdiction and the current standard before you buy, install, or travel.

Start with the agencies. This site is a map, not the destination.

Use these official or established public sources first:

- AS/NZS 1754 and Standards Australia - ACCC mandatory standard - ACCC recalls - CREP / childcarseats.com.au - Kidsafe Australia - NSW child car seats - Transport Victoria child car seat rules - Queensland child restraints - SA seatbelts and child restraints - Transport WA seats and seatbelts - Transport Tasmania child restraints - ACT Policing seatbelts - NT Road Safety - Royal Children’s Hospital car seat safety

If a link moves, tell us via contact.

This page is general information for Australian readers. It is not safety advice, a product ranking, or a fitting service. Always read the restraint label and the manufacturer instructions, confirm the current rule with the road agency in the state or territory where you are driving, and have the finished install checked by an authorised fitter.

How to use the list

Open the agency you will drive under. Open CREP if you want consumer tests. Open ACCC if you are buying or keeping a used seat. Open Kidsafe if you need a fitter. Then come back only if you want the sentences in between.

We publish education, not fittings or product rankings. If a page is unclear, send the URL and your state — we will not advise on a specific child’s seat.
