BDifficulty 2/5

In a private car with up to nine seats, a minor is 135 cm tall or shorter and no applicable exemption exists. May they travel without an appropriate child restraint?

Correct answer

No.

No. Article 117.3 requires an approved child restraint suited to the child’s height and weight and used according to manufacturer instructions. They must occupy a rear seat, except where there are no rear seats, all are occupied by children subject to these requirements, or fitting all the restraints there is impossible. A short journey or an adult holding the child does not replace the restraint. Failure to use it correctly is a serious offence and can result in a 200-euro fine and four penalty points for the responsible driver.
