Car Restraint Guidelines

How do you know when children are old enough to travel without a booster seat? Well it's not how old they are, it's how tall they are. It is generally accepted that children under the height of 148cm should be seated in an appropriate child restraint*. They type of car restraint you shoud use depends on the age and size of your child. Tamara has a height chart in her office is you wish to measure your child/ren.
