Baby Seats, Child Seats & Queensland Child Restraint Law — $35 Per Seat

Baby seats and child seats are $35 per seat — rear-facing baby seats, forward-facing child seats and boosters. Tell us each child’s age at booking and the correct restraint is itemised in your quote, installed and ready before pickup.

Under Queensland road rules, children under 6 months must use a rear-facing restraint; from 6 months to under 4 years a rear-facing or forward-facing restraint with an inbuilt harness; and from 4 to under 7 years a forward-facing restraint with inbuilt harness or an approved booster seat. From 7 years, a properly fitted adult seatbelt or booster may be used depending on the child’s size.

Under Queensland rules, children under 4 must not travel in the front row of a vehicle with two or more rows. Children aged 4 to under 7 may only sit in the front if all rear seats are occupied by younger children. In practice, children in CGC vehicles travel in the rear in the correct restraint.

NSW child restraint laws follow the same national age-based standards, so transfers between the Gold Coast and Byron Bay or Northern NSW are covered by the same seat we fit for you in Queensland.

The Kia Carnival takes up to 5 baby and child seats — rear-facing baby seats, forward-facing child seats and boosters in any combination the family needs. The Camry/Tesla sedan and the 12-seater VW Crafter (up to 11 passengers) also accept restraints; tell us your ages and we will confirm the right vehicle.

Select baby seats or child seats during online booking or call 0416 131 285, and tell us each child’s age. The correct restraint is itemised in the quote, confirmed on your SMS booking confirmation and installed before your pickup.

Yes. All CGC prices, including the $35 child seat add-on, include GST, and your total is locked at booking with no surge pricing.

With CGC, every transfer can include them — Gold Coast Airport, Brisbane Airport, Byron Bay or anywhere else. Baby seats and child seats are an itemised add-on at $35 per seat, GST included, fitted before pickup, available on any vehicle in the fleet. Tell us each child’s age at booking and the correct restraint under Queensland law is installed and checked before the driver arrives.

Yes — that is a standard booking, not a special request. The Kia Carnival seats up to seven passengers and takes up to five baby and child seats in any combination, with room for the family’s luggage. Give us the children’s ages when booking and each one gets the correct restraint category, itemised in the quote and fitted before pickup.

No — seats are $35 each, GST included, itemised in the quote so the total is known before you confirm. That covers the seat, the correct restraint choice for your child’s age, and fitting and checking it before the driver leaves for your pickup.

Yes — Australian-Standards rear-facing baby seats for babies under six months, the restraint Queensland law requires at that age. State the baby’s age at booking and the rear-facing seat is installed before pickup.

Queensland law says from age 7 a child may use a booster or a properly fitted adult seatbelt depending on their size. If the adult belt does not sit correctly — across the shoulder, not the neck — a booster remains the safer choice, and we will happily fit one at the standard $35.

Some exemptions exist for other transport categories, but CGC does not use them — every child travels in the rear in the correct restraint for their age, every trip. It is simpler, it is safer, and it means the answer to “will there be a proper seat” is always yes.

You do not need to — that is our job. Give us each child’s age at booking and we supply the restraint that matches the Queensland categories in the table above: rear-facing baby seat under six months, harnessed seat to four, harnessed seat or booster four to under seven, booster or adult belt from seven depending on size.

Yes — the 12-seat VW Crafter (up to 11 passengers) takes restraints, as do the Camry/Tesla sedan and Kia Carnival. Larger family groups can keep everyone in one vehicle with every child correctly restrained.

No — the seats are ours and they stay with the vehicle. On a drop-off you walk into the terminal with your luggage and nothing else; on a pickup the seats are installed before the driver leaves for the airport, so the car arrives ready to go.

Yes, a booster is legal from age 4 in Queensland — from 4 to under 7 the law allows either a forward-facing seat with an inbuilt harness or a booster seat. Give us the age at booking and we fit the one that suits the child’s size; a small 4-year-old who still fits a harnessed seat gets that instead.

Yes. Queensland’s restraint law applies to every trip regardless of distance, so a 10-minute run to the airport uses the same seat as a Brisbane transfer. It is still $35 per seat, fitted before pickup.

Yes — book both legs on one reservation and the same restraint setup is fitted for the trip home, with the return flight monitored and 5% off the return leg.

Every restraint we fit meets AS/NZS 1754, the Australian Standard for child restraints, and is checked for a tight, correct fit before the driver leaves for your pickup.
