In September 2006 new laws regarding child seats were introduced.

They are as follows...

All child restraints - Baby seats, child seats, booster seats and booster cushions sold in the UK must conform to
United Nations Regulation
ECE:R44/04. This should be clearly marked on the restraint.
The restraint should also be suitable for the child's size and weight.
And it must be fitted according to the manufacturer's instructions.

For more information about child seats - which to choose, what to pay, where to buy etc - see our

Children under 3 years old
Children up to the age of 3 may travel in the front or the back of a car -  but they must use the correct restraint.
It is illegal to carry a child under 3 years of age in the front of vehicles that are fitted with passenger seat air-bags.
The safest way for a child under 3 to travel is in a rear-facing baby seat in the back of the car.
It is the DRIVER'S responsibility to ensure that the correct restraint is used.
