rear facing or forward facing

Legally you can use a restraint rear-facing up until the weight specified, and fowrad facing from the weight specified in the users manual. It varies from seat to seat, but if for example the weight for forward facing is 8kg, the seat has been tested and found to comply with NZ standards to be used forward facing from that weight.

Ohh really, when I went to get Baileys Passpost application I asked the airline company want the restriction is in australia with carseats (I had to find out if I needed a bolt), and they said the same as new zealand... bolted into the car and rear facing untill 12 months

Ohh well Im not taking arisk at all, especially with the way people drive these days
Id never forgive myself if something was to happen because I had them front facing too soon!
