Hi, I feel for you over there. We do have car seats that have a higher harness weight. There are six different models three that harness to 65 pounds and three that harness to 80 pounds. Our goverment says that a child can be placed in a belt positioning booster at 40 pounds with an adult seat belt. How can the goverment out law a car seat. You drive a car the same way all over the world. So where is the difference. A car is a car and a child safety seat is a child safety seat.
Standards Australia claim Australia has the best child car seats and the toughest laws in the world.
Then why is it that the rest of the world don´t follow Australian car seat standards and apply the same laws??????????????????
There are pretty good reasons that children everywhere-else are restrained until age 12.If your child screams about being restrained, then it is time be a parent!! You are the parent, so you set the rules in your car. And I mean by way of using words and not fists.Lena
In Australia... Its only for 1 year olds. It is a big problem. Child Saftey seats can reduce fatality by 58 percent. and Serious Injuries by 70 percent. This is absolutely stupid. Who ever are complaing on this comment area is clearly ignorant. In fact, car accident is the leading cause of death for children and infants. Forget hand guns, and pools, planes and ect... cars are danagerous
I see it the same way. But I live in Scandinavia where many children ride rearfacing until they are 115 cm and 25 kg! I have a seat like that! Children´s bones are soft and their muscles are much weaker than those in adults. That is why they should be restrained until 12 years old! Head weighs a whooping 25% of total body mass from 9 months old and that slowly reduces over the years.
A child seat for 12 year olds? Haha, that is crazy! I had a child seat till I was 2 or 3. I understand 8 years old but 12? I think parents should make the decision for themselves.
I don't know enough to be able to judge what age kids should be in seats, but at this time the gov doesn't give the parent the option to keep them in a safer seat.
True, but as mention int he video our laws our outdated to give parents the options, parents should have to do something illegal to protect there children. :)
i don't think laws should dictate child seats. as an australian i think it is the parents decision and ultimately their problem and responsibility. no one esles. protect your kids however you like but don't ask the country to spend loads of national budget money on making the decisions for you.
learn to fuckin read you knob thats why i said make the whole car safer not just seats jeez you no it alls fuck me off unlees all you cocks out there stop drivin in 4 tonne death traps then the best seats in the world wont save the kids
u r a tosser and i am a parent of 3 the kid seats are fine the vehicles them self need to be safer as a mechanic i see many cars that have been smashed and as good as you think these seats are they are not gonna save shit when a 4wd hits the side breaks the mounting point and sends your kids seat into oncoming trafic
Mate i totally agree. The australian government need to catch a wake up and follow suit. If they want to keep us as a british colony, then follow britain's law where a child must be in a child seat until they are 11 years old.
order ur car seats off e-bay, they sell plenty bugger wat the goverment thinks protect ur kids or see them be scraped off the car in frount at a low spead collision ur choise, nice one pauly xxx jade
The majority of European countries require children to be in car seats to the age of 12. These are your words..... They are not true.. Plain and simple... false...nonesense...garbage...get it.. how can you back a claim that is so untrue ? If the main stream media used claims like yours they would be called to account. So why noy you?
you must have shares in a car seat company 80% of the Aussie public could not afford a seat like that , and you need to get your stats right as well, the USA has the worst regulations in the in the free world when it comes to seat restraint and drink driving. And im not going to comment on the ages you think
should be in car seats,12 give me a break,basicly mate your a knob and you need to be preaching about hoons and drink drivers not car seats
Just put em in the boot. Much safer. Also.. don't crash and don't allow anyone to crash into you. In fact ride a bike, hang on no that is dangerous too... just stay inside.. stay inside.
Biggest problem with current standards is that the seats need a second upper cheast strap to stop them slipping off straps off their shoulders. Also lack of anchor points in rear of large cars like 4 wheel drives
petty? - lol you base an argument on a false statistic and label the highlight petty- so far no post has backed your point of view. A 5 year old child could match your debating skills.
The bit you dont get- here it is again. Your statement "most countries in Europe require children to be in child seats to 12 years old". This is the premis your argument with the objective being to highlight how Australian laws are outdated.
The statistic you base your premis on (...remember.. the "most europe statement") is wrong.
Shh!Don't give Rudd ideas. Labour's already put us into enough dept with the budget, we don't need any more financial problems or raised tax. Sure safety's important but KEEP A LID ON IT!
"Sure you might save a few lives, but millions will be LATE" (Homer Simpson).
If you don't love your children enough to protect them properly in a car then they should be forcibly taken from you and placed into foster care. Simple.
For a guy with 'Clown' in his user name you realy can't take a joke. As for foster care, children these days are, emotionaly/ or on occasion, physicaly cripled by their legal guardian more so than when they were by their biologiacal parent. -I am however flattered by the fact that you think I'm older than I realy am.
I did notice 'fight', and clearly you do enjoy a debate. I don't know which servey you're quoting from but,my facts come from personal information through knowing my assosiates. The majority that I know are worse off now. It is however possible that this is a coincidence and this majority is a mere minority when compared.
-P.S. How did you know I always wanted a pet dingo? Due to laws/habitat resourses/ requirements, it is impossible.
"my facts come from personal information through knowing my assosiates"
They're not facts, they are anecdotal assumptions.
Children removed from abusive/ neglectful parents and placed into foster care are almost always better off. Their foster carers may not be ideal or model parents but the children have a greater likelyhood of at least being properly restrained in a motor vehicle which is a good test of a parent/carer.
You COULD move to NSW where dingo ownership is permissible.
The whole 'foster care is hurtful to children' only comes through from people that glorify family values to the point of justifying, excusing, ignoring, or otherwise minimalizing the effects of abuse.
There is a tendency to solve the problem of family abuse by pretending it isn't there, because people very understandably don't want it to be there. But this just reinforces the cycle of abuse from one generation to the next.
NSW is too dead for my liking, no offence. City born, City made I'm afraid. You know that song "Bright lights,big city. That's where I gotta go. Where the movie's great..."
Not that I want to move to NY or anything, just somewhere, sharp.
I just checked - you are way off the mark regarding European laws In France, Germany, UK, Spain, Italy your statent is untrue. Their laws are not serious (ambivalent. I'm not going to publish the laws here you could easily find them - try google. Please state the appropiate information or you will be treated as an irrelavant twit.
Where do you get your facts? 50% of countries in europe have legislation to make kids up to 12 use car seats ?----your dreamin mate--- what this country needs is LESS laws......
Yes they are looking at it, but they are suggesting up to 4 yrs old. This still don't think this is enough considering its less than half the age of other countries.
And we still don't have seat to support the new law.
This is currently being reviewed by the National Transport Commission, with changes being in place possibly by the end of 2007. geez there slow arnt they..
you make a very good point and I agree. There is just one thing that annoyed me during that. and it was the camera moving around. Not anything negative but it would improve your videos if you turned off the image stabilizer if your on a tripod.
I second that as well, thumbs up to you TrueBlueAustralian for trying to make a difference, my younger kids are still in seats (6 and 8) we imported the larger full back seats. Well worth there safety, keep it up
I don't believe in the cotton wool kids crap i believe parents who are lazy say that.
I agree with your point i don't think we need more laws for parents to tell them what to do.
But some parents in some states are so thick they need to be told, the other problem that i mentioned in the video is that if i was a parent that wanted to decide to use a child seat i cant because they don't allow them here.
I don't claim to be a expert in this subject. But it doesn't take a genius to work out that if almost every other country has laws that are more than double our requirement and the fact that every other child seat in the world is ok but not ok here that something is wrong.
The other point i was trying to make is that we lack even if our child wasn't didn't fit a adult seat belt you still cant buy a seat int his country for them.
A Video full of figures ends up 10 m long no one would watch it.
Hilarious. You wear High Vis shirt because the Union/Work Safe told you it was safe, but then go and tell us that we shouldn't listen to the government because they are wrong.
Take off the High Vis mate, I can see you just fine without it.
um.. im 13, but i started driving when i was 9. the first time i ever drove, dad pointed out the brake, clutch, and accelarater, then told me to stay in the first gear and left me. within about a month (and bear in mind, i could only drive on weekends) i was driving around the paddocks in 3rd gear, by myself. dad started driving when he was 8, some kids at my school had started driving when they were 6/7. i think people should be more concerned about the shit that goes on around farms.
You're a bit gay. No one will put a 12 year old in a car seat, and I see no hard proof to say they should.
They probably aren't approved for a reason.
For Christs sake, don't believe stats. You are what we call the impressionable-adult. You believe everything you are told, as hard evidence without actually looking at the evidence in the article.
No you also said i was a bit gay and the You are what we call the impressionable-adult. You believe everything you are told, as hard evidence without actually looking at the evidence in the article
mate we are not going to make this shit law. i'd be happy to implement all sorts of laws... but cops are blood suckers. They will fine people in situations where it is clear that a particular law was not designed for. 12 years old! i was driving at 8. Australia is NOT europe or america.
It should be the choice of the parents. We are falling into a pattern of shifting the blame to anyone else other than our selves. It is American to go blaming everyone else for your own mistake. This should not and does not need to be law. Parents just need to understand the risks and choose what they want to do. I fight crap like this every bit of the way simply because it is American. 1996 they changed the weapons act. In 1996 50% of license holders in QLD DID NOT RENEW. Simply useless.
But i figure the laws are there all ready so just change the age.
But we have two problems here the first is many stupid parents many still holding there child int he arms when they drive. And the other they think becasue the law says up to 12kg so they dont bother using a child seat past that age.
The other problem we have is that the laws currently in place stop parents from buying older child seats that every other countries have. So Parents cant choose. :)
I agree with all your comments about the Australian law. Actually, also about our country being behind the times. I'm not actually a parent, but I'm a 16 year old with no siblings older then 9. Also I'm a gamer, which is mainly why I agree with "Why must our country be behind the times", not that you care about that. Good video, good points. We need to get better internet service connection/speeds too, but all the big name internet providers are against it. Typical Australia...
great video, you should see some of the things i see at work. we had one family come thru drive and the dog was sitting on the car seat in a car restraint and the 4 yr old child was sitting on the passenger side floor.
well i dont have kids of mine own. but when hauling some of the ones i was raising for a couple of year. oh yeah they were in that child seat. had to buy new ones constinly. i dont know all these fancy new gaget ones. i always bought ones that were conferitible and safe for them as they grew and so on. kids are so exspensove buying clothes and everythign. plus after school activites. the newest gaming system and food. yeah safty is first. peace. gregg
But if would like to consider a child seat a seat with a 5 point harness watch the video at the side... But a 5 point harness seat would be better option for any child.
thats just crazy. i think it should depend on how tall they are combained with weight and so on. what if you have a giant kid. like shak size. but yeah i think every case should be handled differently. and of course kids as well dont like the idea of having to ride in those seats because their uncool. still i think you guys should allow a clips on those seats. it just seem safer too me. peace. gregg
Parents don't use the seats properly now never mind giving them weight and height ranges.. But yes it does depend on each child but how to you cover all children...
The new older kids seats are cool now with psp adapters and such built in.
I know they say children under 80 pounds should be in a child seat in the States. Kids are to small for the seat. Its based on the State laws here and it depends each state is very different
Agreed, I guess it's just not an 'important' issue for the rule makers at the moment.
Having been to all the states Pauly, do you think Queensland has the worst drivers in Australia? I've lost count of the number of times I've almost been killed!
wtf you should have the same laws as us as u r British ruled country

One thing I'd like to point out from my PERSONAL experience:
ClownFight is exactly right. My father was abusive. Fortunately, my mother isn't - she's a wonderful mother, and picked up the courage to leave him.
Best thing she ever did. No father at all is better than an abusive father.
In the same way, minimal care from foster parents would be better than than the 'care' from abusive parents.
This isn't 'through knowing my associates'. This is through knowing ME, and MY father.

But some parents in some states are so thick they need to be told, the other problem that i mentioned in the video is that if i was a parent that wanted to decide to use a child seat i cant because they don't allow them here.
No very optional parenting is it now.!

I don't claim to be a expert in this subject. But it doesn't take a genius to work out that if almost every other country has laws that are more than double our requirement and the fact that every other child seat in the world is ok but not ok here that something is wrong.
The other point i was trying to make is that we lack even if our child wasn't didn't fit a adult seat belt you still cant buy a seat int his country for them.
A Video full of figures ends up 10 m long no one would watch it.

Hilarious. You wear High Vis shirt because the Union/Work Safe told you it was safe, but then go and tell us that we shouldn't listen to the government because they are wrong.
Take off the High Vis mate, I can see you just fine without it.

TrueBlueAustralian 3 years ago
Some good points, but you need to reference your info sources to make a credible argument.
Remember Europe has much higher speed limits than Australia does, and thus stringent child protection is perhaps more critical.
digitalpho3nix 3 years ago
Good comment, but the point i was trying to make was that our current law of 18kg is out of date, rather than how high we should go.
But i also believe that you can never keep your kids to safe in the car.
At the moment too many children are carried in parents arms, totally the opposite of overseas laws.

um.. im 13, but i started driving when i was 9. the first time i ever drove, dad pointed out the brake, clutch, and accelarater, then told me to stay in the first gear and left me. within about a month (and bear in mind, i could only drive on weekends) i was driving around the paddocks in 3rd gear, by myself. dad started driving when he was 8, some kids at my school had started driving when they were 6/7. i think people should be more concerned about the shit that goes on around farms.

You're a bit gay. No one will put a 12 year old in a car seat, and I see no hard proof to say they should.
They probably aren't approved for a reason.
For Christs sake, don't believe stats. You are what we call the impressionable-adult. You believe everything you are told, as hard evidence without actually looking at the evidence in the article.

All I was saying is that, despite the 'outdated laws' no one is going to change for it.
12 year olds already feel like babies enough, you don't need to shit down their throat.

mate we are not going to make this shit law. i'd be happy to implement all sorts of laws... but cops are blood suckers. They will fine people in situations where it is clear that a particular law was not designed for. 12 years old! i was driving at 8. Australia is NOT europe or america.
deagsy 3 years ago
So our children should be protected less..?
I agree cops are blood suckers, But i have never seen or heard of a cop fining a driver for child seat misuse. There to busy pulling hoons over.
TrueBlueAustralian 3 years ago
It should be the choice of the parents. We are falling into a pattern of shifting the blame to anyone else other than our selves. It is American to go blaming everyone else for your own mistake. This should not and does not need to be law. Parents just need to understand the risks and choose what they want to do. I fight crap like this every bit of the way simply because it is American. 1996 they changed the weapons act. In 1996 50% of license holders in QLD DID NOT RENEW. Simply useless.
deagsy 3 years ago
I agree we need less laws not more.
But i figure the laws are there all ready so just change the age.
But we have two problems here the first is many stupid parents many still holding there child int he arms when they drive. And the other they think becasue the law says up to 12kg so they dont bother using a child seat past that age.
The other problem we have is that the laws currently in place stop parents from buying older child seats that every other countries have. So Parents cant choose. :)

1) It's against the law to hold a kid in your arms as it is.

I agree with all your comments about the Australian law. Actually, also about our country being behind the times. I'm not actually a parent, but I'm a 16 year old with no siblings older then 9. Also I'm a gamer, which is mainly why I agree with "Why must our country be behind the times", not that you care about that. Good video, good points. We need to get better internet service connection/speeds too, but all the big name internet providers are against it. Typical Australia...

Well i think a child seat is a booster seat.
But if would like to consider a child seat a seat with a 5 point harness watch the video at the side... But a 5 point harness seat would be better option for any child.

thats just crazy. i think it should depend on how tall they are combained with weight and so on. what if you have a giant kid. like shak size. but yeah i think every case should be handled differently. and of course kids as well dont like the idea of having to ride in those seats because their uncool. still i think you guys should allow a clips on those seats. it just seem safer too me. peace. gregg
twister7boy 3 years ago
Parents don't use the seats properly now never mind giving them weight and height ranges.. But yes it does depend on each child but how to you cover all children...
The new older kids seats are cool now with psp adapters and such built in.

I know they say children under 80 pounds should be in a child seat in the States. Kids are to small for the seat. Its based on the State laws here and it depends each state is very different

To steal a aussie phrase, they need to HARDEN THE FUCK UP. I would break it just like I always break the no cell phones in car law here in the USA.

But to use a better child seat makes it illegal and no insurance and so on once that happens.
