 From the 18th September 2006, new regulations came into force governing the use of child car seats.
In essence, the new regulations stipulate that children travelling in any motor vehicle MUST use the child restraint (baby seats, child seats, booster seats and booster cushions) which is appropriate for their age and weight.
The table below summarises the key changes:
|
 |  | | Child age/height | Front seat requirements | Rear seat requirements | | | | Up to 3 years | Correct child restraint for the weight of the child must be used | Correct child restraint for the weight of the child must be used | | | | From 3rd birthday up to 135 cms in height or 12th birthday – whichever is reached first | Correct child restraint must be used | Where seat belts are fitted, correct child restraint must be used | | | | Child over 135 cms in height or age 12 or 13 | Seat belt must be worn if available | Seat belt must be worn if available | |
Mercedes-Benz offers a complete range which of seats which are tailor-made to suit both your Mercedes-Benz and your child. All meet the standards required by the new regulations, and are quick and easy to fit.
As part of our commitment to safety, we have prepared a brochure which gives you comprehensive guide to all of our child seats.
