Child Seat Law
UK law requires all children travelling a car or other vehicle to be safely secured in the correct size child car seat until they are either 135cm in height or 12 years old (whichever they reach first) at which point they must use an adult seat belt.
Exceptions to the law
If a child car seat is not available in a licensed taxi or licensed private hire car, the child may travel unrestrained in the rear. This is the only exception for children under 3 years. This exception was introduced for practical reasons rather than safety. It is advised that where possible you should make sure that a child seat is available.
Skylift Cars take your child’s safety seriously and can provide a range of seats for you to choose from.
