Birth to 6 months Infant restraints face rearward and allow the baby to lie down. This supports their back and neck in a crash or during heavy braking. There are two types of infant restraints available:
While convertible restraints can be used for a little longer, some convertible restraints may be safer in one position over another. RACV recommends that parents refer to the latest CREP results to choose a restraint that performs well in both positions. Infant restraint hire schemes can be an effective method of maximising your child’s safety without the full cost of an infant restraint. For more information on hire schemes contact your local council or a local restraint hire service. To ensure that this restraint is the right restraint for your child, use the Child Restraint Calculator. restraint safety tips
