Hi all looking at possibly coming over end of aug with our 4 yr old. Does she need a seat or?
Re: childs seat
It's European law until the child is 13(I think)

If that is right it is crazy. I know a 13 year old that is already nearly 6'.ron5000 wrote:It's European law until the child is 13(I think)

Child Restraints
Children are prohibited from travelling in the front seat until the age of 12 years, unless in a child seat. Seat Belts
The use of seat belts is compulsory for all seat passengers travelling everywhere in Portugal.
You are strongly advised to confirm that these details are correct. Check with your holiday company, travel agent, or car hire firm. The country's embassy or consulate may also be able to help.
This is what I found on one site. It also said for the UK a child of 1.35m or age 12/13 can travel in the front and can wear adult sets belt. I therefore wonder if the height advice is the same for Portugal. It's worth while finding this out for guests for my part.
