Your paper reported on the problem facing Katikati Primary School with regard to outings for junior students due to the change in child restraint laws as from November 1.
While I'm all for child safety, but this new law seems rather harsh.
Thousands of children throughout New Zealand are transported to and from school by bus with no child restraints at all. Many of them standing in bus' aisles.
If we're not concerned about that why have we made it so difficult for those transporting children in a private motor vehicle?
