Legislation and children in cars

Question

I would just like to confirm at what age a child is allowed to be moved with their car chair into the front seat of a car, weather they be put rear facing or front facing. Are their any legal laws that refer to this?

Answer

There is no legislation covering this scenario. However we would suggest that the child remain in the rear seat for as long as possible as it is invariably the safest place in a car.
