Child car seats - Legal Requirements

The law says that all children up to 135cm tall (around 4'5"), or the age of 12, whichever comes first, in the front or rear seats in cars, vans and other goods vehicles must travel in the correct child restraint for their weight with very few exceptions.

Visitors to the UK from abroad must also use the correct child restraint for their children - there are no exceptions for them. Family and friends expecting visitors should make sure that their visitors understand the rules. They may need to help them make arrangements so that children use the correct child restraint at all times. Car rental companies can supply child restraints for their customers if booked in advance.

Exceptions to the rules

In limited circumstances, children can travel without the correct child restraint.

1) In a licensed taxi or licensed private hire vehicle. If the correct child restraint is not available then, in the rear seat only, children under 3 may travel unrestrained. Children aged 3 years and over must use an adult seat belt.

2) In cases of unexpected necessity over a short distance. If the correct child restraint is not available then, in the rear seat only, a child of 3 years or more must use an adult belt. This exemption does not apply to children under 3 years and does not cover regular school runs or other journeys that are planned in advance.

3) Where two occupied child restraints in the rear seat prevent you fitting a third. In this case, provided the front seat is occupied, a third child aged 3 years and over can use an adult seat belt (lap OR lap and diagonal) in the rear. If the front seat is free, then they must seat there using the correct child restraint.

4) In older vehicles with no rear seat belts. In this case, children 3 years and over may travel unrestrained.

Maxi Cosi Priori XP Installation

The Maxi-Cosi Priori XP may only be used with an automatic 3-point safety belt. It can be fitted safely in a forward-facing position on almost all seats in the car using the existing seat belts. However in some instances the belts are fitted so far forward that proper installation is not possible, so check before purchase.

First place the Maxi Cosi Priori XP on the car seat in the sleeping position. Then release the belt tensioner. To do so, push the tab under the handle downwards and open the handle. The handle will now visibly protrude from the base.

(The belt tensioner should no longer be positioned between the red belt hooks)

Thread the seat belt between the shell and the base. Make sure that the lap belt section of the seat belt is threaded between the red hooks and the belt tensioner.

Then fasten the seat belt in the belt buckle of the car and check to ensure the car seat belt is not twisted.

(The lap belt should now run under the red seat belt hooks and the shoulder belt should run from the car seat buckle directly diagonally upwards)

Place the shoulder belt in the belt clamp on one side only and fasten it. IMPORTANT: The shoulder belt is now attached on the side of the roll-up mechanism only. The belt clamp is now locked.

Finally push firmly into the car seat whilst at the same time pulling the shoulder belt tight, so that the carseat is securely in place. There is also a useful video on Youtube. For further information visit the Maxi Cosi website.
