Child restraints

Parents and staff transporting students between 4 and 7 years of age in their own private vehicle must be restrained in approved child restraints or boosters seats that are properly fitted to the vehicle and adjusted to fit the child’s body correctly.

By law, all passengers are required to wear a seatbelt in a taxi.
