South Australia · Learner's Theory Test · Road rules

How must a child aged between 4 and 7 years be restrained when travelling in a car?

The answer

  • On an adult's lap with the adult wearing a seatbelt
  • In a rear-facing infant capsule
  • In a forward-facing child seat with an inbuilt harness, or an approved booster seat with a lap-sash seatbelt Correct
  • An adult lap-sash seatbelt is sufficient

Why that's the answer

Children aged 4 up to 7 must use an approved forward-facing child safety seat with an inbuilt harness or an approved booster seat secured with a correctly adjusted lap-sash seatbelt. They may only sit in the front seat in limited circumstances, such as when all rear seats are occupied by younger children.
