Travelling with young children and prams
Children five and under travel for free, unless they’re catching a school service.
When travelling with young children, consider:
- allowing plenty of travel time
- parking your pram parallel to the edge of the road or footpath a safe distance away and applying the brakes – always keep a firm hold of your pram and never leave it unattended
- holding your child’s hand when assisting them to get on and off public transport
- keeping children close to you when waiting for services and when on board
- folding down the pram and carrying or assisting your child on and off board
- placing prams where they are not in the way of other passengers or the driver.
