Hello
I will be arriving into HK with 3 children, aged 5 years, 3 years and 8 months; and so I'd like to find a company which provides a private car service and offers child booster seats (for 5-year-old), and forward facing and rear facing seats for our toddler & baby. Do you have any recommendations? I have been searching online for a while with no luck; why is this? What are the rules about children and seat belts in HK?
Thanks for your help!

Hi there - unbelievably, as far as I am aware, there are no laws in HK about kids needing to be in car seats, or even wearing seat belts. As an brit expat this astounds me!! Driving around town, I see babies in taxis and cars on parents laps, toddlers bouncing around on back seats with no seatbelts on the highways etc. Its incredible and extremely dangerous.
So in answer to your question, there are plenty of private car companies eg. http://www.hongkongcarservice.com/, but as to whether you will find one that supplies car seats, I would be very doubtful I'm afraid.

In fact, because there is no requirement for them, buying car booster seats and rear facing buckets etc is rather expensive in HK. You would be better advised to buy some at home and bring them with you on the flight. That way you will have them for the car from home to airport, and also for use in HK either in your own car or in taxis etc.
