Seats and Restraints
Child Restraints
Older Children
A child should use a normal three
point seat belt only when:
They can sit against the back of
the seat with knees bent
comfortably at the edge of
the seat.
The lap belt rests low and snug
across the hips, not across the
stomach.
The sash belt is centred on the
shoulder and chest.
They are able to stay seated like
this for the entire trip.
Infants and Young
Children
Infants
Rearward facing infant capsules are
designed so that in the event of a
collision, impact forces will be
evenly spread over the baby's back,
with minimal jarring to the
vulnerable head and neck area.
Young Children
Forward facing child seats are for
use when the child is able to sit and
easily hold their head upright.
