A Parents’ Guide to Car Seat Laws in the UK

Everything you need to know about UK car seat rules

In the UK, the law states that you must use a car seat when driving with a child. However, at Avis, we understand that the legal requirements for child car seats and booster seats can be confusing – particularly for first-time parents or those who’ve never used one before.

That’s why we’ve prepared this helpful guide on everything you need to know about booster and car seat laws in the UK, with essential information on booster seat requirements, how to choose a car seat and the penalties for not correctly following these laws.
