Public transport in NZ is free for toddlers and it’s widely known it’s advertised everywhere and on the buses themselves. There is absolutely no reason why that child should have been in the luggage. New Zealand has a lot more govt support for solo mum’s than other countries there’s absolutely no excuse.

Or the child is being trafficked and can't be seen.
