all boils down to childs weight and height tbh


Rear-facing baby seats Babies up to 13kg
Forward or rear-facing baby seats Children from 9 to 18kg
Forward-facing child car seats (booster seats) Children from 15 to 25kg
Booster cushions Children over 22kg

Children must normally use a child car seat until they’re 12 years old or 135cm tall.

In a licensed taxi or licensed hire car, if a child restraint is not available then the child may travel unrestrained in the rear. This is the only exception for children under 3, and has been introduced for practical rather than safety reasons. You should always think about ways to make sure that a child seat is available.

County suggested a seat with harness to keep em strapped in...

You can get them in either "cheeky wee monkey" or "real wee devil" sizes..they do for children of all ability levels.
