Child restraint laws are changing From 1 November the mandatory use of child restraints in vehicles will be extended by two years, with all children required to be correctly secured in an approved restraint until their seventh birthday (this includes booster seats).
Children aged seven will continue to be required to be secured in an approved child restraint if one is available in the vehicle, and if not, in any child restraint or safety belt that is available.
The law changes will help reduce preventable deaths and serious injuries to children travelling in vehicles.
To find out more about these changes, read the Q&As and access resources go to www.nzta.govt.nz/childrestraints. There you can also find a list of certified Child Restraint Technicians who can advise on the best child restraint to suit your child and your vehicle.
