UK CHILD CAR SEAT LAWS UK

UK Car Seat Laws UK

Cars

The law requires all children travelling in cars to use the correct child restraint until they are either 135 cm in height or the age of 12 (which ever they reach first) . After this they must use an adult seat belt. There are very few exceptions, and the main ones are set out below.

It is the driver's responsibility to ensure that children under the age of 14 years are restrained correctly in accordance with the law.

Children up to 3 years old

Children In the Front Seat

The child MUST use the correct child restraint.

It is illegal to carry a child in a rear-facing child seat in the front, which is protected by an active frontal airbag.

In the Rear Seat

The child MUST use the correct child restraint.

In a licensed taxi or licensed hire car, if a child restraint is not available then the child may travel unrestrained in the rear. This is the only exception for children under 3, and has been introduced for practical rather than safety reasons. You should always think about ways to make sure that a child seat is available.

It is the driver's legal responsibility to ensure that the child is correctly restrained.

Children aged 3 and above, until they reach EITHER their 12th birthday OR 135cm in height

In the Front Seat

The child MUST use the correct child restraint.

In the Rear Seat

The child MUST use the correct restraint, where seat belts are fitted.

There are three exceptions where there is not a child seat available. In each case the child MUST use the adult belt instead. They are -

1) in a licensed taxi or private hire vehicle;

2) if the child is travelling on a short distance for reason of unexpected necessity;

3) if there are two occupied child restraints in the rear which prevent the fitment of a third.

In addition, a child 3 and over may travel unrestrained in the rear seat of a vehicle if seat belts are not available.

It is the driver's legal responsibility to ensure that the child is correctly restrained.

Children over 1.35 metres in height, or who are 12 or 13 years old

In the Front Seat

The adult seat belt MUST be worn if available.

In the Rear Seat

The adult seat belt MUST be worn if available.

It is the driver's legal responsibility to ensure that the child is correctly restrained.

Passengers Over 14 years old

When travelling in the front or rear seat, an adult seat belt MUST be worn if available.

It is the responsibility of the individual passenger to ensure that they are wearing the seat belt.

Wallaboo Changing Bag Was £46.95 Now Just £32

These sensible yet stylish changing bags from Wallaboo are made from faux suede with a fleece trim. They are more than just functional, they are fashionable as well and can be carried in two ways; as a shoulder bag or easily attached to the pushbar of a stroller.

The Wallaboo Changing Bags make it easy to get organised when going out and about. They feature five pockets and two large inner compartments, and there is an adjustable strap with a padded panel so that the bag sits comfortably on your shoulder. Inside there is a thermal bottle holder (to keep your baby’s drink warm or cold), a special pouch for nappies and wipes, two interior zip-closed pockets (perfect for soothers, a mobile and more), a padded and washable changing mat and a detachable/washable zippered dry bag.

Due to their stylish design, they don’t look like changing bags so can be used as normal every day bags after your child has got older. Available in six stunning colours; black, chocolate, red, pink, lime and blue. Why not team it with a coordinating Footmuff or Wrapper from the Wallaboo range.

Wallaboo Changing Bag Review


5.0 out of 5 stars Loved the bag!, 8 Jan 2011
By Marium - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wallaboo Changing Bag (Chocolate) (Baby Product)

I did a lott of browsing before finally settling with this bag. I read all the reviews on amazon and on other sites about Wallaboo bags and other products that they make.. Its true that it looked smaller than I expected it to be, but i'm in love with it. It looks stylish to carry unlike other changing bags. I have a 3 year old daughter and I gave birth to her beautiful sister 6 weeks ago.

It has three compartments. Its enough to hold my wallet, mobile, my small makeup kit, 2 change of clothes for the baby, milk bottle(i use avent), three or four nappies, 2 bibs, muslins, a powder milk storage(small one though).. I still do have space left to keep something to read and a snack for my toddler. The outer pockets are too small. I keep my bus pass and a lip gloss in it. There's a change mat, an insulated bottle holder, and a wet bag in it. I would have liked the strap to be a little wider but that doesnt bother me much:) Im 5 feet 4 inches tall and I sling it across easily and looks nice. The instructions say that it is machine washable.
Im so glad i bought it and would totally recommend it! :)
