Baby and Child seats

For the protection of your children during your car rental period, child safety restraint seats are available at some Europcar locations in Australia upon advance reservation. Children under seven years of age must wear a child restraint or booster seat when travelling in a car for improved safety

In Australia Europcar offers three variants of child safety restraint seats:

• Child Seat Baby 0-9kg (0-12 months)
• Child Seat Infant 8-18kg (1-3 years)
• Child Seat Toddler 14-26kg (4-7 years)

All three options can be purchased during your booking (depending on availability)

The type of restraint will depend on the age of the child as follows:

• Children aged under six months must wear an approved, properly fastened and adjusted, rear facing child restraint
• Children aged between six months and under four years must wear an approved, properly fastened and adjusted, rear facing child restraint OR a forward facing child restraint with an in-built harness
• Children aged between four years and under seven must wear an approved, properly fastened and adjusted, forward facing child restraint with an in-built harness OR an approved booster seat which is properly positioned and fastened

For your child's safety, remember these key tips:

• Carefully review both the child restraint and vehicle instructions
• All children should be buckled up in the back • Never place a child restraint seat in a seat with an active airbag
• Always get a tight fit - the restraint should not move more than one inch from side to side or front to back
• Make sure that the harness straps and clip are positioned and secured appropriately
• Set the example - always buckle up yourself!
• Comply with all child restraint laws and ensure that for all children under the age of seven years the restraint has been fitted correctly according to the age of the child and that the restraint is properly adjusted and fastened
