Vivi's answer is absolutely correct. At the age of 8, the use of a booster seat is optional.

Qld Transport website states: 6 months to 4 years must be in a car seat, 4-7 years can use a booster seat. 7 years and over is at parents discretion, only recommended but not compulsory

Height is required to be less than 140, and there is also a weight requirement.

Driving in Australia is on the left-hand side of the road. If you are driving a manual car, you will need to be comfortable with driving on the left side of the road. You should also be aware that the speed limits in Australia are generally higher than in many other countries. For example, the speed limit on most highways is 100-110 km/h (62-68 mph). It is important to always wear your seatbelt and to follow the rules of the road. This includes obeying traffic lights, stop signs, and giving way to pedestrians and cyclists where necessary. In addition, it is illegal to use your mobile phone while driving in Australia. This includes making calls, sending texts, and using social media. If you are planning on driving in rural areas, be aware that there may be fewer services available, such as petrol stations and restaurants. It is also important to be aware of the potential for wildlife on the roads, particularly in national parks and reserves. Finally, make sure you have appropriate insurance coverage for your vehicle before you drive in Australia. This will protect you in case of an accident or other unforeseen event ? Australia Q&A

The best place to buy growth pads for children is on Taobao. You can throw them away when you are done or put them in your luggage. We did this several times when we went to Europe before. Whether you use them or not depends on your understanding of overall safety. Bringing them from home saves you the trouble and money, and there are almost no police officers who actively check. The key is whether you will encounter random checks. If you have growth pads, there should be no problem. We didn't encounter mandatory enforcement by the car company ? Australia Q&A
