can any parents help. Ive looked at the government website but it is all vague stating children must be "secured safely" which doesn't really help.

Niece & Nephews are coming over from abroad for 2 months in the summer. I have a 7 seater available so plenty space.
They are aged 4 & 7 boys 9,10 girls

What seats do they need? All child seats or can they use booster?

thanks
