Rules for the use of child seats are based on the same European Directive in all EU countries.<\/p>\n

\"\"In summary, this Directive requires that children less than 1.50 meters in height be transported in an approved and appropriate child restraint. Appropriate means that the child restraint should be matched to the child’s weight and height (see diagram). If you assume this when traveling through Europe then no problems are to be expected. The same European Directive also allows for exceptions. The Netherlands has used a number of exceptions. As a result, the rules abroad may be different and stricter. Below is an overview of the different European countries. By the way: in every European country, the use of safety belts present in the car for all seats is mandatory.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
