NSW Government Child Restraint Requirements for Hire Vehicles

According to NSW Point to Point Transport regulations, "the rules for hire and rideshare vehicles are the same rules that apply to the travel of babies, infants and children in a private vehicle." This means stricter requirements than taxis, making professional family transport services essential for legal compliance.

Mandatory Child Restraint Requirements:

• Ages 0-6 months: "Must be secured in a suitable, and properly fastened and adjusted approved rear facing child car seat."
• Ages 6 months to 4 years: "Must be secured in a suitable, and properly fastened and adjusted: approved rear facing child car seat, or approved forward facing child car seat (with an inbuilt harness)."
• Ages 4-7 years: "Must be secured in a suitable, and properly fastened and adjusted: approved forward facing child car seat (with an inbuilt harness), or approved booster seat."
• Ages 7+ under 145cm: "Must use a properly fastened and adjusted restraint...it is recommended that they be secured in a suitable, and properly fastened and adjusted: approved booster seat, or approved forward facing child car seat (with an inbuilt harness)."
