In SA the laws are changing in relation to child restraints, where all children up to the age of 7 must be in an approved child restraint - and going by age (as opposed to height and weight) to ensure each child is in the correct restraint. (However there will be provisions made for larger sized children).

As a result of some findings from the Centre for Automotive and Safety Research there was a need for a larger booster seat -as we all know - the largest booster seat currently available only suits up to 26kg.
Currently there is an Australian Standard being created so booster seats can be made to suit kids up to 36kg. Hence it won't take too long before they hit the market.

But if you need one now - for the safety of your child, get one!
