Can a restraint go in the front seat of van or utility?
  • It is legal to fit a child restraint in the front of a utility or van provided there is a seat belt and a child restraint anchorage point available.
  • Restraint fitting stations can install a variety of devices that can ensure the safe operation of restraints in these sorts of vehicles.
  • If there is a passenger airbag in the seating position occupied by a child using a car seat, it is recommended that the seat be moved as far back as possible while still allowing correct seat belt fit.
  • If there is a passenger airbag in the seating position occupied by the child, you must not use a rearward facing infant restraint.
