With effect from March 2017 the government is adopting new rules on the use of car seats.
The changes centre on when backless booster seats can be used which depends on the height and weight of the child.
Existing rules say a child over 15kg and around 3-4 years old can use a booster seat.
The new rules, stipulated by the United Nations, state that booster seats can be used if the child weighs over 22kg and is above 125cm (3st 7lbs and 4 foot 1 inches in old money)
The reason for the changes are due to safety, as you would expect, with the old rules the seat belt does not sit right for a small child and offers very little protection in certain accidents.
The rules on children in the car have changed over the years, the existing rules on the use of child car seats are that the seat must be approved in the EU, and you can identify this on purchase as the seat will be labelled with the letter E in a circle, and the seat should be chosen based on the Childs height/weight.

The driver will be liable for a fine of £500 for any child under 14 travelling without a seat belt or restraint; if they are over 14 they will be liable for the fine themselves.
If you have already bought a car seat you can continue to use it, it is down to the manufacturers to ensure car seats are clearly labelled with the revised standards.
