From 1 March, 2010, all children up to the age of seven years must be correctly restrained in an approved child restraint, suitable for their size and age.

All children under four years must be transported in the rear seat of a motor vehicle with two or more rows.

A child between the ages of four and seven can only travel in the front passenger seat of a vehicle if all available seating positions in the rear seat have been occupied by a child under four years in a child restraint.

For more information on choosing the correct restraint for your child go to the Child restraints page or download the Safer child restraints brochure.
