Child Car Seat Regulations
- Starting November 1st, children under eight or under 1.35 meters tall must use car seats in private vehicles.
- Older children must use seatbelts or appropriate restraints.
Reason for New Regulations
- The new car seat regulations align Hong Kong with international standards like the US, Australia, and the EU.
- This change isn't solely due to increased accidents but enhances child safety.
Risks of Unrestrained Children
- Unrestrained children in vehicles are like "loose cannons" during collisions, posing significant risks.
- The new rules aim to protect children, especially infants previously carried in adults' hands.
