With the national car restraint laws in affect since November 2009 (NB: this is different for each state) regarding child restraints, Hire for Baby are offering an opportunity for families that are perhaps unaware of the current and future requirements regarding child restraints to understand the new laws and have their restraints correctly inspected and refitted, if required for a small fee.
The new laws will require children to be appropriately restrained in a motor vehicle in a suitable approved child restraint from birth up to the age of seven.
Specifically, the law requires children:
The law also deals with the issue of children sitting in the front seat of a vehicle.

Children up to four years of age must be restrained in the rear of the vehicle (where the vehicle has two or more rows of seats);

Children aged between four and seven years will not be permitted to sit in the front seat unless all other seating positions are already occupied by children under seven.
By specifying the type of restraint to be used at different ages and where children must be seated in a vehicle, the new laws will reduce the risk of injury caused by the use of unsuitable restraints for a child’s size. Source: RTA
The authorized training for Hire for Baby Franchisees is an accredited training that has been delivered by Australian Safety and Engineering Training in conjunction with Mobility Engineering, who are the same organisation that conducts the training for the RTA fitting stations.
