Choice, cost
BASSINET For children to six months, cost $9O. Can also be used as a carry cot, and will fit a standard pram frame. It lies horizontally across the back seat, anchored at each end to the seat, and is designed to tilt backwards in a forward collision, protecting the child, who is harnessed in. CHILD SEAT For children aged from six months to four years, designed to carry up to 18 kg (40 lb), to be used only when the child is able to sit up. Child seats should be anchored by belts to seats; hookover seats' can unfasten in a collision. Seats attached to belts
which bolt into car frames cost about $23 (suitable for back seats); child seats which fasten around bucket seats cost about $ll. CHILD HARNESS Once the child seat is outgrown, the harness can be used. Drawback: the child is too low in the seat to see out of the car. BOOSTER CUSHION Suitable for children from the age of four; recommended by the Ministry of Transport, cost, $13.50. A high density thick foam seat elevates the child, and a high foam back prevents the seat sliding forward after the standard adult seat belt is fastened over in the normal way. It can also be used anywhere as a seat.
