A: Is the question whether your grandfather can drive with a baby while possessing a restricted license? If so, I don't believe that your category of license ever restricts your passengers. In other words, I'm fairly certain that as long as he possesses a license, he can drive. Whether his passengers are adults or children is not limited by the type of license he possesses.
