Child Car Seats : The Law |
The law does not state booster seats - it says, and this is from your link
Quote:
An appropriate child restraint is one which:- conforms to the United Nations standard, ECE Regulation 44-03
- is suitable for the child's weight and size
- is correctly fitted according to the manufacturer's instructions.

So my 6 year old uses one of
these. They comply with the law and only cost £10 at Halfords. They would fit in your handbag to use in a friends car if needed. Mine have the ECE 44-03 labels fitted and a copy of the instructions is in the glove box just in case some smart arse copper thinks he knows the law and says he is not on a booster seat
I wonder how many people have their kids sat on a booster seat from a previous child that is not marked as complying with ECE 44-03. They are breaking the law if they are and could be fined
