Een kinderautostoel is niet verplicht wanneer een kind:\n\n* Ouder is dan 12 jaar.\n* Langer is dan 1,35 meter.\n\nDit geldt voor alle zitplaatsen in de auto.<\/h3>\n
There is an exception to this rule. In many cars fit three child car seats<\/a> you can only fit two car seats. If you have a third child who is shorter than 1.35 metres, they may sit on the back seat between the two car seats. This applies to a child aged three and over, and only if the child can wear a seatbelt. In exceptional cases, a child aged three and over may be transported with just a seatbelt when they are being transported by someone other than their parents. However, this only applies for short distances, for example picking them up from school or transporting them to Children's party<\/a>. Furthermore, the child must sit in the back seat. When someone else regularly drives your child around, it is no longer an incidental event and the usual rules apply.<\/p>\n The i-Size standard encompasses the regulations concerning car seats and this rule has only been active since 2013. A few key points of these regulations are:<\/p>\n Based on these points, a baby up to fifteen months old and up to 83 centimetres tall must be transported facing rearwards, and can be seated in an infant car seat group 0\/0+ (0-13 kg according to the old standard). From 15 months old and with a height between 60 and 105 centimetres, your child may also be transported facing forwards. This was, according to the old standard, car seat group 1 for a weight between nine and eighteen kilograms. From 3 to 12 years old and with a height between 105 and 135 centimetres, your child may be transported facing forwards. This was previously car seat group 2 and 3 for a weight between 15 and 36 kilograms.<\/p>\n A booster seat is a child seat, but differs from a normal car seat. With a booster seat, you secure your child using the car's seat belt, whereas a car seat has its own harness system to hold your child. Booster seats can be bought with or without a backrest. Whether you can use a booster seat is not dependent on age. The length and weight of your child determine if a booster seat can be used. Children weighing over 22 kilograms and taller than 1.25 metres may use a booster seat. A booster seat is also mandatory for children under 1.35 metres, so from 1.25 metres to 1.35 metres, a child must sit on a booster seat.<\/p>\n The i-Size standard dictates that children must travel rearward-facing up to 15 months. Why is this? In the event of a car accident, this is many times safer. In a head-on collision, travelling rearward-facing prevents your child's neck from having to withstand significant G-forces. These forces are now absorbed by the entire body, significantly reducing the chance of serious injury. If you use a safe car seat, you may transport your child both in the back and the front of the car. For safety, this makes little difference. Do be sure to deactivate the airbag on the passenger seat. The impact caused by the airbag in an accident can severely injure your child.<\/p>\n Generally speaking, you are not allowed to transport people if you do not have seat belts. Furthermore, everyone must wear their own seat belt, which means that no more people can be transported than there are seat belts available. Two children in one seat belt is also not permitted. Everyone must also have their own seat in the car. Therefore, no one is allowed to sit on another person's lap.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Het is ontzettend belangrijk voor de veiligheid van je kind dat je hem of haar op de juiste manier vervoert in je auto.
