"With the pending law changes for child restraint use in Australia requiring children under 4 years and 20kgs to be restrainted in a 5 point car seat, as well as children 4-7 years to be restrained in a booster seat, as well as parents and caregivers who want their children restrained by the integral harness for longer than 20kgs, this petition hereby requests Britax Australia (sold in AU & NZ) to import or manufacutre a car seat that allows children to be restrained longer than 4 years and 20kgs, as parents would like and aside from the 18kg limit currently set by AU standards.

By signing this petition, you join the movement in requesting/wanting Britax AU to import or manufacture a child restraint (similar to the Britax Regent or Frontier) for children to be harnessed beyond 18/20kgs. "

- It's about time we advance from the 18kg max limit and allow parents to have more say in their child's safety in the car.

- Tall, but lightweight children are not catered for well with the curent restraint options. The harness isn't the best option for those youngsters who will undo the seat belt.

- I need a safe booster seat for my 14 month old with a 5 point harness. He already weighs 15kgs so will grow out of his car seat soon. I hope someone listens and does something about it.

- My daughter hit 20kgs at approx 20months of age which is FAR too young to be in anything BUT a 5 point harness. It is reprehensible that I have to endanger my daughters life simply because she is tall and solidly built and no Australian carseats cater for her. Bring the Britax Regent to Australia so my darling girl can be safe.
