CHILD SEATS/CAPSULES
Queensland legislation states that all children under the age of 6 months are to be seated in a baby capsule facing towards the seat it is mounted to. A child 6 months to 4 years is to be in a child seat facing the same direction as the seat it is mounted to. This is subject to the amount of engineer approved restraint mounting points the buggy comes equipped with.

 

If the seat is hired through Hamilton Island Buggy Hire the seats will be fitted by a trained staff and should remain secured to the buggy for the duration of the rental. Securing and adjustment of straps in the capsule to fit the child is the responsibility of the parent or guardian (hirer). Capsule covers should be fitted when the capsule is not in use to prevent weather damage.

​

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE: The hirer is responsible to recheck capsule anchorage points and adjust straps securing the capsule to the seat each time the child is placed in the capsule restraint. Capsule covers cannot be used when the child is positioned in the capsule.

All roads on Hamilton Island are subject to the same road rules that apply on Mainland Australia. All serious breaches will be reported to the Queensland Police Service.

​

Harsh penalties apply for reckless or driving under the influence of alcohol under Queensland Law including heavy fines and loss of license. With signing your bond form you understand and agree to the conditions of the buggy operating rules and regulations described above and am (you are) aware a golf buggy is a conditionally registered vehicle subject to all Queensland road rules, bylaws and regulations.
