Child Car Seats

What is the law on child car seats?

In the UK, children are legally required to use a child car seat or booster seat until they are 12 years old or 135cm in height or 150cm in ROI. As a result, it’s essential to find a seat that provides both security and comfort to your little one. At Halfords, we have a wide range of child car seats, including popular brands such as Joie, Graco, and Cybex.

How to choose the right child car seat

Choosing the right size child car seat is all dependent on which sizing system you refer to. The R44 sizing system is based on a child’s weight and categories car seats into groups, while R129/i-size car seats are based on a child’s height. If you need further guidance with child car seat sizing systems, please refer to our car seat buyer’s guide.
