Guidelines for Child Restraint Installation

For your peace of mind, and for your child’s safety, Baby Bunting and our child restraint technicians have adopted the following installation guidelines:

Rear-Facing

• We believe that children should be in a rear-facing child restraint for as long as possible, at least until 2 years of age, but longer if the seat’s limits allow.
• Ideally, a child should be kept rear-facing until they have reached the rear-facing limits of the restraint they are in. It may be possible to have your child rear-facing until 4-6 years of age or older.
• If the restraint doesn’t allow the child to rear-face until at least 2 years old, we recommend moving them to another seat which allows them to rear-face for longer.
• A rear-facing child restraint increases your child’s safety. Watch this 3-minute video here to understand why.
  
  

Forward-Facing

• We recommend that a child travel in a forward-facing restraint with an internal harness for as long as possible. This may be beyond toddler and into school years.

Boosters

• We recommend that a child stays in a booster until they are at least 148cm even if they are 7 years or older.
• Only switch to the adult vehicle belt if it fits the child safely.

• Check the 5 Step Test to see if your child can travel safely without a booster.
• Watch this 3-minute video to understand why a child should stay in a booster until they are 148cm tall.
