Marton Junction School were faced with a problem last year when the new child restraint law stipulated that children under 7 years old must have car seats - they couldn't go on school outings.
Enter Laurie Hunt of the Rangitikei Freemasons with a cheque to cover the cost of 10 car seats and this week he was able to provide the school with finance for another 10 seats.
School principal Vanessa Te Ua said the seats mean that outings are much easier to plan now.
"We were asking parents to leave car seats at school but sometimes they need to use them for siblings of our students as well so it just wasn't possible to organise outings."
Laurie Hunt has had a long association with the school, both as a parent and a long term board of trustees member.
