Child Seats In Our Campervans

The safety of your littlest traveller is incredibly important to us. We’ve made an easy-to-read article to help you decide which of our budget campervan rentals is the right one for your family.

Australian law state that children up to 7 years of age must be fastened in a child restraint.

 

Age of Child	Size of Child	Child Seat Type	Correct Position in Vehicle
0-6 Months	0-9 kgs	Rear Facing	Rear Row of Seats
6 Months – 4 Years	9-18 kgs	Forward Facing	Rear Row of Seats
4 – 7 Years	14-26 kgs	Booster Seat	Rear Row of Seats

 

The ages mentioned above are just a guide for the safety of your child. If your child is too small for the child seat specified for their age, use the appropriate rear facing or forward facing seat. Or, if your child has already outgrown the restraint specified for their age, use the appropriate forward facing or booster seat.
