Under New Zealand law, all children under seven years of age must use an approved child restraint (a baby capsule or a car seat) appropriate for their age and size while in a car/vehicle. Children aged seven must be secured in a restraint if one is available in the vehicle.
You can watch some helpful videos about how to install appropriate child restraints (link to external website, new window).
