Children under 6 ride for free when accompanied by a Presto card holder, monthly pass holder, or full-fare paying adult, so said the lady in the ticket booth when I asked to purchase a one-way fare to Oshawa for my 5-year-old daughter at Union tonight.
Apparently this is new. The old definition was 5-years-old. GO's website isn't updated yet with this information, but if you're on March Break and traveling with kids, this is good to know.
There is a catch, only one child under 6 enjoys a free ride. If you have more than one kid under 6 and no other adult who has paid a fare with you, you have to spot for the other kids and pay a child's fare.

Honestly, all children under 13 should ride for free if accompanied with adult. Why? What difference does 7 years make? 6 or 13? I don't get it. It's still another body.
The difference is manners.
Also (and fyi), on weekends, Adult monthly pass holders can take 1 person on GO for free.
as long as the person is 'well mannered'
