Is there a seatbelt law in Bonaire like in most States?

Nope and you can ride bed of the pickup, if you desire. Do a little truck surfing. Not recommended, by the way.

What about child safety seats? Are they required? I see that they are available for rent from the rental car agencies, but are they required? We've been to Bonaire a couple times before, but now we've got a toddler coming with us, too.

Seatbelts and child safety seats are required if you want a safe vacation that you come home from. There isn't a law enforcing that on Bonaire.

Kevin, thanks. I was hoping someone who lived on Bon could help. Pauline, I agree, even though they are not required, I've seen a couple of bad accidents on Bonaire, and well, I hope they had their seatbelts on.

Kevin, how ya doin? Haven't heard from you in a while. How's the Palapa roof coming along?

Seat belts are not required but why would that matter???

The potential Lloss of life, limb or permenant disability should be penalties enough - a legal requirement is irrelevant.

And why would anyone put their child at risk??
