big responsibility.
Every child who travels with us deserves the same care we'd want for our own family. That's why child safety isn't an add-on for us — it's built into how we prepare every vehicle.
- Child seats available on request for all vehicle types
- Seats inspected and fitted before every pickup
- Rear-seat guidance for every age and size

proper protection.
Malawi law, like most of the world, requires young children to be properly restrained. We stock age-appropriate child seats — from infant carriers to booster seats — so you don't have to bring your own.
- Infant carrier seats for babies under 12 months
- Forward-facing seats for toddlers and young children
- Booster seats for older children until seatbelts fit properly

- Drivers trained to insist on belts for all ages
- Extra care for children travelling in groups
