Under New Zealand law, all children under seven years of age must use an approved child restraint appropriate for their age and size. Children aged seven must be secured in a restraint if one is available in the vehicle.
Requirements for child restraints[td]
Age of child
The law says you must:
Until their 7th birthday
Correctly secure your child in an approved child restraint
From their 7th to their 8th birthday
Correctly secure your child 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)
From 8th birthday to 14 years old
Must use safety belts if available. If not available, they must travel in the back seat.
Over 14 years old
Must use safety belts where they are available.
International best practice recommends the use of an appropriate child restraint (or booster seat) until your child reaches 148 cm tall or is 11 years old. Child restraint and medical professionals recommend that you keep your baby in a rear-facing restraint until as old as practicable, at least until they are 2 years of age.
