In a survey conducted in Australia in 2019, regarding which type of car seats were used by children up to the age of 13 years old in Australia, almost 90 percent of parents or caregivers to children stated that their child, between the age of two and less than four years old, used a forward-facing car seat with a built in harness. This was the most common type of car seat for this age group. For the age range seven years old to less than 13 years old, the majority of children used an adult seatbelt only.
