What can I do if my child is too big for the restraint for their age?
The laws aim to cater for the majority of children, however there is a provision to allow a child who is too heavy or tall for the recommended restraint to use the restraint in the next age category.
Children aged up to four years will have to be secured in a child restraint with an in-built harness, while those aged up to seven years are required to travel in either a restraint with a harness or an approved booster seat
Child-restraint regulations are now based on a child's weight, not age, and will be replaced with more uniform laws.
All booster's go up to 18kgs....but what i did was i just used the normal seat belt....
Thanks ladies! Will be in the market for another seat for DD2 soon so will check it out. She is a smaller frame and more wriggly/non compliant than DD1 so that may be the go for us.
