Double Jeopardy Law
What is Double Jeopardy? and is it still Law in the UK?..link
Up until a child reaches the age of 12, or 135 cm, a child must use a booster or car seat, when a child is not required to use a car seat or booster they must, of course, wear a seat belt.
Car seat retailers should be able to guide you through the purchase as not all seats are the same.
A child under 15 months old must use a rear facing car seat, after that time they can use a forward-facing seat. Seats are designed on heights or weights and only approved seats can be used in the UK, you will recognise these as they will have a capital E and either 'R129' or 'ECE R44'.
Your retailer should also assist you in how to fit your car seat, how appropriate it is for your car, and any modifications you need to make, for example deactivating air bags.
Only in exceptional circumstances can a child travel without a car seat, a child may also travel on a Mini Bus or Coach without a car seat and use a seat belt, but as a parent, if you know your child is taking a school trip you should check and, if needs be, provide one.
If you must travel by Taxi and you do not have the correct seat, you can travel without one but your child must sit on a rear seat and if they are 3 or older wear a seat belt, if under the age of 3 travel without a belt.
From the 1st March 2017 new rules will come into effect on booster seats, manufacturers will not be able to introduce seats for children under 125 mm or less than 22 kg.
Laws on car seats are in place for safety reasons do not ignore them, you will be liable for an 'on the spot' fine of £30 or £500 if taken to court.
