Taking your child out in the car is a great shared experience, whether you’re just popping out to the park or going further afield. Naturally, you want the reassurance that your child will travel safely and happily and a properly fitted car seat will be your first priority.

With a multitude of travel options at your disposal and a long list of strict Australian safety standards, parents find themselves easily confused by the type of travel system they need to purchase to ensure the absolute safety and comfort of their children.

Though at some point the choices may depend on the parents’ personal preferences, certain regulations need to be followed and the decision has to be made with the child’s age and physique in mind. Commonly, parents choose a baby capsule for the first travel system they’ll use, and then when the baby is old enough, it is exchanged for a car seat

But let’s elaborate a bit more on this subject.

In Australia, children under the age of 7 cannot travel in a car that doesn’t have a correctly fitted and fastened child restraint that meets the Australian safety standards. Babies up to 6 months of age must be seated in a rear-facing restraint; furthermore, it is recommended for a baby to be placed in a rearward facing seat until it is 12, or even 30 months old. Children until 7 years must be securely seated in a forward-facing restraint or a booster.

But the type of restraint doesn’t depend that much on the child’s age as much as it does on their size. Even after they turn 7, their seated height will determine whether or not it is more secure for a child to remain in a booster seat.

At Maxi Cosi, we ensure all baby capsules from our selection meet Australian safety standards and provide the utmost comfort for your child. For years we’ve been delivering practical and highly secure baby capsules, car seats, and boosters, thus getting the chance to familiarise with the parents’ most common questions and concerns. Ultimately, we decided to draft a comprehensive guide to baby capsules that would list the benefits and advice on how to select the right one for your child.
