There aren't any present "laws" concerning car seats in Trinidad & Tobago (yes, a shame really). Anyhow, sometime in February last year (2010) the government presented the Motor Vehicle and Road Traffic Bill 2010 in the Lower House. I really don't know how long it will take to pass it or reject it. If they pass it:
QUOTE The Bill bans a driver from having a child under the age of five in the front seat and specifies how young children must be secured in a vehicle. A child under six months of age shall be "restrained in a properly fastened and adjusted, rearward-facing child restraint," the Bill specifies.
A child aged six months to four-years-old, must occupy a rearward facing or forward facing restraint that has a built-in harness. Further, a child aged four to five years, must be "restrained in a properly fastened and adjusted forward-facing child restraint that has a built-in harness or an approved booster seat that is properly positioned and fastened".
The penalty for breaching this law is $2,000. Source 2

Hey everyone. I saw the Bill online and it says it was approved on April last year so I am guessing it is law however our problem is the enforcement, as usual.
