I thought it was dangerous for a toddler to wear a standard seatbelt because it could injure them in a collision?
And I'm pretty sure cabs are exempt from carrying a baby seat.
They are...That said our LA insists, and rightly so, that all pupils under 11 yrs or under 1.35m high must have booster seats as per School contract agreement even though the law may not require it
I'm sure all parents can carry children without boosters or baby seats on short unexpected journeys where they couldnt plan in advance to have seats to hand..its a bit of an excuse loophole.
