In accordance with the traffic regulations, drivers are obliged to wear seat belts and not to transport passengers without fastened seat belts.
When transporting children in a car, every parent must ensure their safety. It is important to know and understand that in an emergency situation, car safety systems are not designed to protect children. Therefore, when transporting them, it is necessary to use child restraint systems that correspond to the child's weight and height.
Thus, for children up to 5 years old, child seats are used. From 5 to 12 years old, booster seats or special seat cushions can be used, which allow a child to be safely fastened using the vehicle's built-in seat belts.
It is permitted to transport children under 12 years of age without using child restraint systems if the child's height exceeds 150 cm.
