At what age can a child travel in the front seat?
If a vehicle has two or more rows of seats, children aged under 4 years must not travel in the front seat.
If all rear seats are being used by children under 7 years of age, children aged 4 years to under 7 years may travel in the front seat, provided they travel in a booster seat. In this situation, you will need to use a booster seat that is manufactured without a top tether strap.
The Victorian road rules allow a child aged 7 years and over to travel in the front seat, however research shows that children under 12 years of aged are at a greater risk of serious injury when travelling in the front seat.
If there are two child restraints or booster seats in the rear row and there is not enough space to put a third restraint in the rear row then a passenger aged 4 years to under 7 years can travel in a booster seat in the front seat. In this situation, you will need to use a booster seat that is manufactured without a top tether strap.
For information about vehicles with only one row of seats (for example, a ute) refer to the FAQ titled ‘Can a restraint go in the front seat of a van or utility that has only one row of seats?’
