Child Car Restraints
Loading...
Uploaded by leanneperry on Apr 3, 2007
We followed the Australian Laws for child seatbelt restraints and it failed us. Our (nearly) 4 year old daughter Toni died from chest injuries from her adult seat belt. Her 7 year old sister and 5 day old brother had no injuries at all. If we had been given more information on child car safety we would have been able to save our daughter and she would have started high school this year. Instead we only have our photo's and memories.

I dont know if they will go to where you are but they are also nice seats! my daughter who just turned 4 in June is in a seat called the Graco Natulis witch 5 point harnesses to 65lbs and then high backs or backless bossters to 100lbs. she has been in this seat sience she was 2and a half years old because she out grew her convertibal carseat that refaced till 35lbs in hight.

Isn't it insane that you can buy these booster seats from Big W or K Mart without anchor restraints. I am so sorry for your terrible loss. RIP beautiful Girl

i'm so sorry for your loss, I'm in the UK with an 8 year old child and i'm not sure whether he still needs his booster. I will look into this. RIP Toni xxxx

Your video is the reason my almost 5 year old will be harnessed for a while.

If you think the ones we have in the states are nice you should see the ones that Sweden makes! I just drool over those.

Where are you living?
It varies from country to country, Contact your government department n transport to get further information on where you can have your seat properly installed or checked.

Go into a booster at 18 kilos? Forget it! I'm not taking the risk with my child and had a 5 POINT HARNESS brought over from the U.S. when my daughter reached 18 kilos and outgrew her seat.
Why can't we get these outside N. America? Don't our children deserve to be securely strapped in?
If you choose to strap your 3 year olds in boosters, as the law usually permits, good luck but I'm not willing to take that gamble.
I can't imagine anything worse than losing a child.
I'm sorry for your loss.

Unfortunatly it is illegal to have child restraints that are not Australian Standards. American seats are not side impact tested and most do not have the Top Teather needed to meet Australian Standards.
The law says a child may sit in an adult belt after 12 months of age.
Australian Standards are now reviewing their testing police and is open for comment, so have your say.. visit belletoni dot org dot au and click on the links at the top of the page.

I visited your site but was afraid to comment as I'm not NZ or Oz nationality.
Yes, I'm also going against the law in our country by using an American carseat but after mulling over it, I decided that my child's safety was more important than being within the law. What a choice to have to make!
Britax said they can't sell their safer seats here due to national laws. Ugh. Good luck getting things changed down under!

Thank you Eclipsepearl. I know it is sad that we have to break the law to protect our children. We have had a breakthrough in the past few weeks with getting the law changed. And also the safety standards that are used for testing our seats is now under review.. A great start here!.
