Can an 8-year-old child drive in Vancouver with an booster seat? Is there an official website to query relevant regulations ?

The regulations for car seats are based on the different ages and weights of children. The law requires that drivers have the responsibility and obligation to ensure that all passengers under the age of 16 wear seat belts and are safe. Only if any of the following three conditions are met can you directly use the seat belt, otherwise you must use a child car seat. One: full eight Two: 36kg, 80 pounds Three: Height 145cm (4 feet 9 inches) Newborns, from birth to 9kg (20 pounds), must use a rear-facing child car seat. Infants under 12 months must face the back, and try to extend this time as long as possible, as long as the child feels comfortable in it and the legs do not exceed the child car seat too much. In the seat, the body should be at a 45-degree angle, and the shoulder safety belt should not exceed one finger between the clavicle.

Thanks . For safety, I plan to buy one after entering the city, as long as it's not illegal to go from the airport to the city.
