For children 5-7 years old you must use a child restraint or safety belt if there is one available. If no restraint is available, children must travel in the back seat. For children 8-14 years old you must use a safety belt if available, children must travel in the back seat.
Plunket car seat rental schemes offer a variety of affordable infant and child restraints available for short- and long-term hire. Prices vary depending on the area. A bond is charged in addition to rental, and this is refunded when the seat is returned in good condition.
Our car seat rental scheme representatives are Safe2Go trained which means they can give the best advice on the safe use of child restraints.
