Correct answer
It occupies a whole seat.
Each child occupies a whole seat. Children cannot be counted as half a seat or subjected to a general 50% allowance to carry more occupants than a passenger car’s authorised seats. Children 135 cm tall or less must also use an appropriate child restraint and sit in the rear, subject to statutory exceptions. Each occupant needs their own seat and appropriate restraint.
