Travelling with a child in the front seat of a car
Travelling with a child in the front seat of a car
I understand that children under 135cm tall must travel in the back of the car unless all the seats in the back are occupied by other children or there are no back seats. I've got my son a go kart, and I wondered if I can seat him in the front and not fall foul of the law if I have put the back seats down to carry the go kart? Does anyone know the technicalities of the rules and whether this is acceptable? There are often police checks on the route to the kart circuit so I don’t want to risk it.

Re: Travelling with a child in the front seat of a car
I would suggest that rather than worrying about what the police might do, the safety of your son is what you should be concerned about. The rules on children and where they sit, including whether they sould be front-facing, child seated or booster etc seem very sensible, and are there to rpotect children in the event of a crash.
Perhaps you should consider a roof-rack for the kart, or a trailer?

In the event of an accident that kart will kill both of you. I think the police will think the same thing if they stop you.

Can you use a trailer ?
