Hi all,


I know this is *very* off topic, but some of you guys are very familiar with traffic regulations, and I'm getting the run-around from QLD Transport, and others.


Here is my problem...


We will be hiring a 22 seater Coaster bus from Budget in a month or so, and will be driving around 1500km with 15 adults and 3 kids. Kids are 1 year old, 3 years old, and 5 years old, and all are actually from America, so don't have baby capsules or booster seats hired or owned in Australia.


I need to know what the legal requirements are for travelling in QLD for baby capsules, restraints, seats, etc.


We will be driving the bus ourselves, and it is fully fitted with seat belts.


QLD Transport had no idea, and said to ring the Ambulance, who said to ring someone else. I can't find anything on the QLD Transport web site.


Can anyone point me to the right place, or tell me what the rules actually are?


Can a baby capsule be mounted in a bus? I doubt it would have the anchors...


Many thanks for any info whatsoever...


Cheers,
Jason.

maybe use the securing bolt from the seat behind to the fl

Thanks Cloudy - you mean to unbolt one leg of the seat behind and bold it back down with the baby seat anchor attached? Hmm, that might be an idea...


Cheers,
Jason.

I'm sure the Qld version of NRMA or even NRMA will be able to help (If you're a member that is). Just ask their tech dept.

You are hiring this bus so I would ask the hire people they must have come across this before, and might even do the decent thing and fit the capsule for you. If you have to do any modifications to the bus seat mounts or anything ask them FIRST it might c
