In the car – child restraints

Know the Law! Safety belts are designed mainly for adults and older children.
Child safety protection laws make it compulsory for all children to use the correct child seat, booster seat or booster cushion.

Smaller children – under 150 centimetres and less than 36 kilograms – must be restrained
in an appropriate child restraint system when travelling in a passenger car or goods vehicle. Examples of appropriate restraint systems are baby car seats and booster seats.

less than 36 kilograms (i.e. generally children up to 11/12 years old) must use
the correct child seat or booster cushion when travelling in cars or goods vehicles.
