Golf carts and car seats don’t mix—and it’s important to understand why.

Car seats are specifically designed to be used in motor vehicles that have seat belts, designated seating positions, and a protective structure. Golf carts do not meet those requirements.

This means:
✔ Car seats cannot be properly installed in a golf cart
✔ Safety features like top tethers and crash-tested restraint systems are not supported
✔ Children are not protected the way they would be in a passenger vehicle
Even though golf carts are common in neighborhoods and recreational areas, they are not a safe alternative for transporting children in car seats.

Choosing the right vehicle for travel helps ensure kids are protected every time they ride.

Certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians (CPSTs) are available to help check your installation and answer questions. You can find a technician local to you by searching bit.ly/SafeKidsTechSearch or find a fitting station near you at buckleup.texas.edu
