Not Wearing Your Seatbelt While Sitting In The Backseat May Get You A S$100 Fine In M’sia source: https://mustsharenews.com/malaysia-seatbelt-fine/ Malaysia Government Introduces S$100 Fine For Rear Passengers Who Do Not Wear Seatbelts Everyone knows that it’s important to buckle up when you’re in a car. However, most of us will only do so when we’re sitting at the front seat. If you’re planning a road trip soon to Malaysia, remember to put on your seatbelts even when you’re in the backseat. Failing to do so might get you a S$100 fine. S$100 fine for those who don’t wear seatbelts at the back As the new year begins, Malaysia is making child seats and rear seatbelts mandatory. Needless to say, the same goes for putting on the seatbelts. Those who fail to comply with the law face an S$100 (RM 300) fine. The new law only applies to passengers aged 17 and above. Action will be taken against rear passengers who have access to seatbelts but choose not to buckle up. Law originally introduced in 2009 Putting on seatbelts when sitting in the rear was made mandatory in 2009. However, many took it lightly, which hindered the enforcement of the law. The government then gave a grace period of 3 years, according to Beetify. Wear seatbelts for your own safety Buckling up when you’re sitting at the back might seem like an unnecessary interruption to your comfort. Yet, it’s better to be safe than sorry. No one wants to be injured, especially when you’re on a holiday. Wherever you are, it’s best to buckle up and drive safely.

Just watching Crash Test Dummies on Discovery Science. Shows how dummies are used to make cars safer. Made me recall seeing some adult front seat passengers in cars with a baby or toddler carried in their lap. They don't realise...(cannot be don't care right?) how dangerous it can be if the car rear ends the vehicle in front or driver e brakes....the child could be launched forward by the momentum and crash into the windscreen. Child seats are also life savers...i suggest parents be more strict with their children when it comes to seat belts. Even for short drive to school less than 2km away, I insist my kids put on their seat belts. You can be the safest driver in the world, but there are many who are reckless or bobo.

After watching this video, i will always remember to wear my seatbelt! https://www.facebook.com/MangoNews/videos/810686718967472/

Has anyone seen this for sale in Singapore? I have tried autobacs and calling baby kingdom. But they don't have it and the staff never even heard of such an extender. http://www.seatbeltextenderpros.com/extenders-by-car/ Looking to get 2 units as it is currently a pain to clip the belts in for the kids in their booster car seat. the booster seats block access to the receiver side. thanks

[extract] For those who have travelled in the rear seats of older cars, you would be familiar with the seat belt buckle
