In the updated legislation, changes have been made regarding the transport of children, including the removal of the 12‑year age limit that imposed certain obligations in this regard. According to the updated traffic legislation, the transport of children is regulated based on height, not age.
If we take as an example a child under the age of 12, he or she can be transported without a child restraint system, but with the adult seat belt, adjusted so that it does not pass over the neck or face area, only if he or she has a height of over 135 cm. In the event that he or she has a height up to 135 cm, it is mandatory to be transported only in a child restraint system.
The traffic legislation imposes strict rules for the transport of children in motor vehicles, including special obligations that drivers must know and respect. For complete details, access the VIDEO legislation course from step 1, where you will find a lesson dedicated to transporting children, explained in video format – Obligations and prohibitions regarding the transport of children.
