Installation Guidelines
Our 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.
