Customers are welcome to use child safety seats on Greyhound buses. However, the
seat space must be purchased at the discounted child fare. You should ensure that
your child seat has been approved for use in a motor vehicle, and is used in accordance
with the manufacturer's instructions.
It is your responsibility to secure the child seat to the bus seat with strapping
or webbing that is approved by the child seat manufacturer. You are responsible
for providing the strapping or the webbing. You should also secure your child in
the child seat with a manufacturer-approved lap and/or shoulder belt/harness. Greyhound
