🚗  Understanding Car Seat Laws Across the Border

If you’re crossing from Buffalo, NY to Canada, the rules change once you pass the border.
Our drivers are trained to follow both U.S. and Transport Canada standards, keeping your family 100% legal and protected on both sides.

🇺🇸 U.S. Requirements (New York State):

• Children under 2 years old must be in a rear-facing car seat.

• Ages 2–4 years require a forward-facing seat with a harness.

• Ages 4–8 years must use a booster seat until they’re at least 4’9” (145 cm) tall.

🇨🇦 Canadian Requirements (Ontario):

• Infants under 20 lb (9 kg) must ride rear-facing.

• Toddlers under 40 lb (18 kg) need a forward-facing seat with tether strap.

• Kids under 8 years or 80 lb (36 kg) require a booster seat.

✅ BUF Taxi vehicles are pre-equipped to meet both standards, so no matter which side of the border you end up on, your family is safe and compliant.
