I don't know what the child restraining seat laws are Downunder, but in the US are very strict about it, as a matter of fact recently a grandfather was arrested for endangering the welfare of his grandson because he had him in a Corvette and there was no seat booster or child seat attached to the car seat, and the child was under 8 years old.
If a child is under 8 years of age he/she must ride in the back seat and if under 65lbs must have a seat booster. NEVER in the front seat leat alone facing forward.
I have a grandson who I took for a ride when he was about 2 years of age, no seat booster just the Cobra harness, he loved every minute of it but it was literally around the block less than 5 miles away. My son who is an EMT told me that I was risking a ticket and possible arrest and I stop doing it. Mind you I am a retired Federal LE .
All this said, be very mindful of all these laws.

I agree with everything other than never in the front seat.
On vehicles without a rear seat and without an airbag or if it has a factory way of disabling the airbag, (F150 with disable key on dash) then it is legal. The cobra does not have an airbag or rear seat.
Because it is legal, does not mean it's a good idea though!
