About child safety seat restraints
Under New Zealand law, any child under 7 years old must use an appropriate safety seat restraint when in a moving vehicle. This keeps the child safe. There are various types of safety seats that suit children of different ages. These include:
- Baby capsules (for infants)
- Car seats (for toddlers and pre-school children)
- Booster seats (for pre-school and school-aged children)
