As there is no way of knowing in advance whether the bus for your specific trip will be equipped with seatbelts, our service requires passengers to always come prepared with an appropriate child seat, if your child requires one in a vehicle (See Child Seat Policy).

Children weighing up to 18 kg (40 lbs.) who board a seatbelt equipped vehicle are required to ride in an approved CMVSS car seat supplied by the child’s parent or caregiver, and be secured to the vehicle using the seatbelt (lap belt).

In the event a passenger brings a car seat and the vehicle is not equipped with seatbelts or restraints, The Company will store the car seat with the checked luggage for no charge. Visit the ICBC website for specific details on child car seats.
