Children Safety Regulation
Posted by admin in Children Safety Regulation on
Driving with children is quiet dangerous sometimes. As you know, children need extra protection if they become passengers in cars. So, having much protection which is standardized by the law must be followed by the drivers, especially if the drivers are the parents. So, what is the rule which is announced by the law? So, since the year of 2006, the current law said that children who are travelling using a car must be sat on the child car seat till they reach 135cms in height. So, you have to know that the driver is responsible for the passenger till the child reach the age of 14. If you break the law, I am sure that you will fine up to £500.
Child safety regulations are stated in the entire continent by the law maker. Commonly the regulations are quite the same. So, specifically, we will know that in certain period of age, the children will be sat on different types of seat that can safely protect them more. The children need protection more than the adult. So, the standard which is used is the children under seven must be restrained in suitable seat. Then, children under six months are restrained in a rear facing position. The children between six months and under four years must be restrained in forward facing restraint. Then, the children between four and fewer than seven can be restrained in booster seat.
In addition, child restraints types and position will help you much in ensuring that the babies and children will travel safely in your vehicle. You have to know that the children ages 0 to 3 can’t travel in vehicles without seat belts installed. For 3 to 12 years old children, you have to know that you must put your children in the front seat; it is because that place is the only one which has the seat belt. So, keep your children safe by using the safety belt.
