FAQs Baby & Child FAQ's

  • Improved child car seat safety legislation was introduced in September 2006.

    It stated that ALL children up to the age of 12 or up to 135cm (4' 5") in height (whichever they reach first) must be restrained in an appropriate child seat or booster seat when travelling in a vehicle. Drivers currently face a £30 fixed penalty notice or a fine of up to £500 if they fail to comply with the law.

     

  • It's not just the age of your child that you have to consider when choosing a child car seat.

    You will also have to consider their weight and height, and which seat provides the most secure fit in your car. You should also think about whether your baby or child will be taking long or short journeys and if you will need to transfer your child car seat from one car to another.
