At What Height Does a Child Count as a Seat in a Private Car?

[LeviDella]

Children over 1.2 meters in height count as a seat. Children under 12 years of age are not allowed to sit in the front passenger seat when traveling in a car and must sit in the rear seats. Children under 4 years of age must use a safety seat when riding in a car, and children under 7 years of age can use a three-point seat belt in conjunction with a child seat. More relevant information is as follows: Note 1: Children are naturally active, and the car's center console, gear lever, and handbrake may all be objects that children play with, which undoubtedly increases the risk factor of driving. If a child sits alone in the front passenger seat, they may collide forward like a bullet during an emergency brake, leading to severe injury or death. Note 2: Allowing a child to stick their head out of the sunroof while the vehicle is in motion can risk injury to the child's neck and ribs if the vehicle brakes suddenly. Additionally, many vehicles have an automatic window and sunroof closing function after the engine is turned off. If the child does not retract their head in time, the closing sunroof may trap their head. Note 3: Do not let children get in and out of the car by themselves. Note 4: Do not place too many decorations or toys in the car.
