What is the minimum height required to travel in the rear seats without a restraint device?
Traffic safety: Transported persons and cargo
Explanation
Children who are **less than 135 centimeters tall** must use an appropriate **child restraint system** according to their height and weight when traveling in a vehicle. This is because standard seat belts are not designed to adequately protect shorter children.
- Child restraint systems are specifically designed to offer maximum safety to children who do not reach 135 cm.
- These systems should preferably be placed in the central rear seat of the vehicle, as it is the safest place in case of an accident.
- In situations where these systems cannot be installed in the rear seats, or if all rear seats are occupied, children may travel in the front seat, but always with the appropriate restraint system.
Therefore, the minimum height for a child to travel without a restraint device in the rear seats is **135 cm**.
