In the car – child restraints

What to remember when using child restraints:
It is recommended that you buy a child car seat only from a retailer who will check it fits.
Make sure it fits your child and your car. For further information go to www.rsa.ie

Restraints for passengers under 17
By law, the driver of a passenger car or goods vehicle is responsible for passengers under 17 years of age wearing a safety belt or an appropriate child restraint. You may receive up to 4 penalty points if your passengers in this age group are not belted or restrained.
