Some countries are a little more enigmatic. Some Group 0/1 seats will spin round to cover both bases. This has been shown to greatly reduce the risk of injury, as has keeping the child in a rear-facing seat as long as possible. One big change, though, is that all R129-02 means that all booster seats will now be sold with a backrest. In fact, another point about this legislation change is that children are now referred to in terms of height rather than weight, as parents generally have a better idea of how tall their children are than how heavy. This is the second phase and carries most impact for the car seats for kids over one metre tall. In 2017, the Europe-wide legislation changed – with R129 being the new standard for car seat regulations. There are some differences between the different countries, if you’re planning some cross-border shenanigans, but there are some recurring themes – suitable child restraints for passengers under a certain height, airbags should be disabled if rear-facing seats are used at the front – but this does raise one question… What’s a suitable child restraint?ĭoes the idea of suitable change from place to place? Some countries quote safety standards – Switzerland, Sweden, the sensible countries. But before the dreams of exotic traffic jams and wailing kids asking if you are there yet, there are some legal matters to attend to. Summer holidays are almost here, and for some families, that means hitting the Autobahns, the autoroutes, the autostrade with the little ones in the back.
