what is the child seat law in queensland and NSW in austrlia?

Answer 1

General info
The law states that children under one year must be carried in an approved child restraint. Child restraints must be suitable for the child's size and weight and properly fitted and adjusted. Approved restraints carry the Australian Standards AS/NZ1754 sticker.

What does the law say?
It is the driver's responsibility to ensure that passengers under 16 years of age are properly restrained in a seat belt or approved child restraint.

Penalties for drivers not ensuring their passengers, under the age of 16, are properly restrained involve a fine of $165 and three demerit points or, if convicted in court, a fine of up to $500 and three demerit points. Possible suspension or cancellation of licence may also apply.
