Seat belts and child seats
Seat belts and proper child restraints save lives, and Ontario law requires them. The G1 test expects you to know who is responsible for buckling up.
Key facts to remember
- ◆ Everyone in the vehicle must wear a properly fastened seat belt.
- ◆ The driver is responsible for ensuring passengers under 16 are buckled up or in the correct restraint.
- ◆ Rear-facing infant seats are used for the smallest babies.
- ◆ Forward-facing child seats with a tether strap follow, then booster seats.
- ◆ A child can use the seat belt alone once they are big enough for it to fit correctly.
