Carrying Children SafelyThe safest way for children to travel in cars is in a child car seat that is suitable for their weight and size, and is correctly fitted in the car.Understand the different types of child car seatsChoose the most suitable child car seats for your childrenEnsure your child seats are fitted correctly in your carComply with the law on how children should be carried in carsUnderstand how to carry other people's children safelyA properly fitted child car seat will help to prevent your child from being thrown about inside the vehicle, or ejected from it, if there is a crash. It will also absorb some of the impact force, and provide some protection from objects intruding into the passenger compartment.A seat belt on its own will not properly fit your child, until they are at least 135 cm (4'6") tall, although it's better to wait until they are 150 cm (5ft) or taller before moving them to the seat belt on its own.Child Car Seat Safety RecallsIn March 2018, Britax Römer issued a voluntary recall notice for classic DUALFIX child car seats due to a potential safety issue with a component.
