while in a car?  Thank You.

The Cayman Islands laws on children travelling in cars is being drafted now and requires that all children sit in the back seat and use the correct child restraint until they are either 53 inches (135 cm) in height or twelve years of age (whichever they reach first). After this they may sit in either the front or back seat and must use an adult seat belt. There are very few exceptions. It is the driver's responsibility to ensure that children under the age of 14 years are restrained correctly in accordance with the law.
Booster seats are only required for children under three.

Enjoy your trip!
