Vehicles without seat belts
- Children under 3 must be in a child car seat. If there’s no seat belt, they can’t travel.
- A child over 3 can travel in a back seat without a car seat and without a seat belt if the vehicle doesn't have one.

- Children under 3 must be in a child car seat. If there’s no room for a third child seat in the back of the vehicle, the child must travel in the front seat with the correct child seat.
- Children over 3 years can sit in the back using an adult belt.
