After all, children’s safety is one of the most important points that are increasingly being monitored. Sadly, many adults think that they can simply take their daughter or son on their lap and hold the child tight in the extreme situation. This is unfortunately not the case. A child seat or a baby seat are absolutely necessary and must not be missing in the equipment of responsible parents.
These child seat regulations must be observed
The right action starts with the purchase of the child seat. In general, you can only take a child under the age of 14 by car if it is in a proper child seat. The same applies to girls and boys under 1.50 meters tall. This regulation was introduced in 2005, together with the current driver’s license reservation system. Failure to do so may result in points in said reservation system, participation in corresponding seminars on the safety of children in the car, or even the withdrawal of a license.
Furthermore, the child seat must also meet the currently applicable standards. You will either see an orange-colored sticker on the hard body of the model or sewn on the cover of the child seat, on which you will find a corresponding test number. This number is under the capital letter "E" and must start at least with the numbers 03 or 04. Anyone who uses older models contradicts the child seat regulations and must pay a penalty of at least 30 euros.
